I was loading some 9mm and a couple would not drop in the case gauge. So thinking or maybe I wasn't, I decided to try to run them through the Bulge Buster. Well you guessed it, I used my 9mm Luger FCD and now there is a loaded round very, very stuck in it. Is there a safe way to remove it or do I just order another 9mm Luger AND 9mm Markov die?
Did I ruin my die?

So many questions here....
Ask away....
There are ways to remove it, but the question you really need to ask yourself is, "Is it really worth the cost of another FCD?"

I Managed to get one jamed in my 9mm markof die. Scarry Stuff. did manage to get it out but in hind site probably should not of done it. Will not try to put a loadded round thru it again. Does not work well even with 9mm empty casses. If I had it to do over again I would probably just have tossed the die.

You would dispose of a barrel with a round stuck in the chamber? Why?
My first move would be to clear off any of the die top that will unscrew, flip the die over upside down (screw in from the underside) and press the cartridge out much the sale way you pressed it in there.
If that doesn't work, we'll need a picture to see what's stuck where.
There's nothing magical about a primer. Don't hit it, or heat it, and it won't go off.
Into...not through

dig a hole 3 feet deep in the ground and bury it

now I think about it.... go to the lake and chunk it hard... or use it as a fishing sinker3 feet? Must be a code requirement to prevent freezing.
I think I would build a small fire and toss the die in. The resulting bang would most likely take care of the stuck case issue before the heat did much at all to the die.

come on man, we can’t give moderately dangerous advice that would work. Us reloading vets are supposed to be a good influence on neebies. I mean, don’t take a backwards 4” stud nail and bang it out
True enough. My bad.

If you know some one with a lathe, they could cut out the brass supporting the primer to a point the brass would release.
IF you don't have any one send it to me I will do it for you.

Please take some pictures so we can see what we're dealing with. Hard to give advice without seeing the issue.
This is the first useful post in this entire noisy thread.

But it’s not a barrel/chamber and it’s not just a primer, it’s a loaded round in a $30 die. Have you actually removed one?
