I have done the samething also. RCBS makes a special stuck case extractor that cost something like $10 US. See if that is available in Italy. Actually the stuck case remover doesn't have to be RCBS, Hornady, Forester etc will also work.

Get ahold of RCBS direct, mail the die to them and they will fix or replace the die, and probably wont cost you anything. RCBS warranty is a no fault, no questions ask warranty

Quoted: That's not a "bullshit", that's a "fuckup" ;) You're right... I have to buy maybe the whole dies set, because in Italy before to have only the Sizing Die (cod. 11129) will pass from 3 up to 7 months... |

I had that happen many years ago.
I removed the decapping pin asmbly. put the die in the oven at about 250 deg, (110C) till all got hot. Then poured in ice cold water into the die. Being two disimilar metals the die will stay hot the brass will srink. Then take a wooden dowel and drive the case out. Worked for me. |

If you know a machinist, he could chuck the die in a lathe & turn out the brass. Just be sure to tell him not to go all the way through & hit the steel of the die. A cartridge drawing with dimensions would help.

I would cut the primer section of the case off. With a small diamond file (those little file sets), work on one side and weaken the case, by cutting a 3/4 case width grove . With needle nose plyers, start wiggling the case until it comes out. May need to file additional sides.
Hope this helps, and don't ruin the die. |

I think I will try this method... if I don't do anything this die is fucked up anyway... |

Steady on, lads. To remove a stuck casing from your die, you need a vice.
Pinch the protruding brass cartridge casing in the vice. Put a wrench on the die and torque the die back and forth till the interference fit of the casing/die wiggles loose. Ruins the brass casing, saves the die, works for me. |

NO, NO, NO, NO!
Run down to the locale hardware store and get a 3/16 or 1/4 inch tap, matching drill and bolt, and 4 or 5 flat washers big enough to fit over the case head. Drill and tap the case head. Put the washers over the head and up against the die. Insert the bolt and screw the bolt in untill the case is pulled out. You might need a smaller washer that keeps the bolt head from fitting inside the bigger washers. |
