20 years ago I bought a Hornady stuck case remover and today I finally got to use it. I decided to make up some dummy rounds to check feeding in my new 458 Win Mag and set my dies. I pulled the turret with the 45.70 dies out of my press and installed the turret with the 458 dies. I had a bunch of sized, brand new brass so I seated a bullet into an empty case and it was too deep so I used my inertial bullet puller and pulled the bullet. I stuck the case back under the sizing die and squeezed the neck down. Pulled the handle up and promptly ripped the rim off the case because the 45.70 shell holder doesn't grip the 458 rims solid enough. The Hornady stuck case remover worked great.

WTG, Frank! If you haven't had a stuck case, you haven't been reloading long enough! Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

Heck Rusty I probably stuck a dozen cases in the first 10 years of reloading but I haven't done it since I bought the stuck case removal tool. I'm just glad that it worked!

Had a case stick on me too. First one in forever! I drilled and tapped the case 1/4 20 and used a deep well socket as a spacer then a long 1/4 20 bolt and a washer Worked great! ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

I stuck a 22-250 shell today. But, I think mydie had something going wrong with as I found some lateral scratches in the brass I has already ran. Not sure if the die got some dirt in it which caused my problems. I'm going to send it off to RCBS for a look see.

I have to agree, you don't reload enough. There's several stuck case removers in my equipment and they have all been used at one time or another. | |||
