    Stuck case heeeeelp!

    was resizing some 338 edge cases hungover and ... alas.... made the school boy error of failing to lube . case is fully and utterly stuck inside the die. thought i could easily remedy the stuck case by taking out the decapping pin, using a punch and smacking the case out. punch is now embedded in the case and the case....is still stuck... is there way to save the day or is it a new die for me?

    Drill and tapp base of shell and insert threaded rod, short bit of pipe that case will just fit up but will sit on base of die,couple of heavy washers nut on top and start winding should pull it out. If not........ be really careful with a dremil?

    Hahahaha

    You can't call yourself a Reloader until you've stuck a case or two.

    Getting it out is the easy part ....... Once you know how that is.

    Good Luck

    Cheers

    OK now any thoughts of reloading have just gone straight out the window and factory ammo over the counter transactions look easy. That is way too technical looking gizmo for this fellah to be playing with.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
