[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 486266, member: 3745"] Unscrew your decapper / expander from the top of the die. Drill and tap the primer hole in the stuck case. Depending on the type of press you are using you may have to be creative on how to use the screw from the bottom of the case to secured in your press.... then raise the ram and pull the stuck case. I have had to do this once using my Forster press and it is pretty easy to do since it does not use a shell holder like an RCBS press does. There are some commercial "stuck case" pullers out there but I don't have one as I have only had a case stick once....... As for why???? The most likely reason is not enough or proper lube. Even a case that requires a lot of sizing should not stick if it is lubricated properly. What are you using for lube? I switched to Imperial Sizing Die Wax several years ago and have not looked back. It is a little messy since you put it on with your fingers but it works really well. The one and only case I have stuck was when using "One Shot" spray lube, and I have had several that "almost" stuck when using it. No problems since switching to sizing die wax. [/QUOTE]
