I junked my RCBS dies for a new set of Redding dies all because I was getting too many stuck cases in the 270 win. I cleaned the new dies and stared resizing. Now 5 cases in what do I get? U guessed it...a stuck case! The brass had been once fired so I just lubed the neck. I gather I need to lube the whole case. The major problem is I cant get this case out! I'm using a RCBS stuck case remover but I'm just striping the threads. Anyone have have trick to help me get this dam thing out??? Thanks in advance. todd

Sorry HP, I wish I had a stuck case remover. It sounds like you aren't lubing the case properly or you may have the wrong shell holder if it's happening that much.

Search around on here. I have seen some home made stuck case removers on here that may work better than the store bought units.

I have had it happen twice and I just sent the die back to RCBS. It took longer than I wanted it to but for 5 bucks I couldn't complain.

Imperial sizing die lube! On the case body.

I had some Cabela's spray case lube that was "bad" and had much the same problem. Switched to RCBS spray and no more stuck cases.

That was the same stuff I was using when my 223 stuck in the die last time. I stopped using it also and I am using redding wax now.

I returned my Cabela's spray lube, no problem since.

If you pulled the threads out of the case, you probably used a drill too large for the tap. I believe the RCBS kit uses 1/4-20 TPI bolt. Now drill the hole out to 17/64ths and use a 5/16ths X18 TPI tap and bolt. You should not pull the threads if you don't over size the hole before tapping.

I have used a metal rod that fits in the case, and with the die still in the case, pounded it out. Damages the hell out of the cas but the dies cost more

Do you have anything of the case left to pull on ?. If so heat the Die with a torch ( Just warming it don't

go nuts ) on the out sides ONLY put a frozen stick or something in the case for a few seconds , pliers yank the case out .

If the case head is still in tack and you can't get anything frozen in the case still try heating Die only .

As a last resort ,seeing as you don't own a cam case remover . Use a drill very carefully drill cartridge case

out. Kroil the Oil that creeps will help if left on the case say overnight . Put some down the top of the Die

on the case let it set . To prevent this and any other lube issues use this stuff . Been using it for 20

years now and I used everybody Else's lube wax sizing concoctions before I settled on this . Added bonus

you simply wipe with a soft clean cloth after resizing prevents brass tarnish and NEVER causes any problems

extracting from the chamber either .



Boeing Corp. Didn't develop junk .

Boeshield T-9 was developed by the Boeing (aircraft) Company to fill their need for a superior lubricant/protectant that would perform over a wide temperature range ( -40 degrees to +250 degrees F). The formulation is based on a unique combination of solvents and waxes designed to penetrate metal pores, dissolve minor corrosion and leave a resilient waxy coating that lasts for many months.

The company began by successfully introducing Boeshield T-9® to the tough saltwater marine market for lubricating and protecting all metals. It works well on engines and deck hardware as well as electronics, batteries and wiring connections. It is non-conductive and will not cause short circuits.

For bicycle chains, T-9® has proven to be a tough, long lasting waterproof lubricant.

On woodworking tool surfaces Boeshield T-9® recently topped all other surface treatments in Wood Magazine's article on Rust Busters*. According to them: “Except for the section treated with Boeshield T-9® all sections have completely rusted overâ€. “There is only one choice for protectant as far as we’re concerned: Boeshield T-9®â€.

Boeshield T-9 keeps your "stuff" protected and rust-free!
