Case stuck in Dillon sizing die

[MoreIsLess]

Anyone have an idea how I can get the case unstuck from the Dillon sizing die

You can make your own remover by drilling and tapping the flashhole and simply screwing it out with the corresponding size bolt.

Once I rounded up the supplies I keep them in my tool box on my bench, just in case.

PS you don't need a lathe. An electric drill and hand tools do just fine.

I got the RCBS stuck case removal kit many years ago, but you can also just do as "Laphroaig" suggests......

From Dillon die owners manual:

In the event of a stuck case, the design of the depriming assembly
allows it to function as a stuck-case remover.

Simply remove the silver clip, loosen the stem lock nut and then spin it up
to the top of the stem. With a wrench, turn the depriming assembly into the die.
“Clockwise” turns will loosen the stuck case. Use pliers to remove the case from the
depriming assembly.

Holy SNIKEE"S that looks like a project! Just sayen, guess i'l find out sooner our later? I had to edit/good info RC I saved that!

Please disregard. I was able to get it by taking the die apart and poking it out with a hammer and screwdriver

Got to wonder why you didn't just use the built-in stuck case remover feature of your Dillon die?

One of the many reasons I buy Dillon dies...... ease of stuck case removal

I use Imperial Wax on my cases, no sticky !

I would wonder that too if it were a rifle die. Never stuck a case in them but Dillon rifle and pistol dies are different designs.

It never occurred to me you could stick a case in a handgun die.

So I assumed it was a rifle die.

I wouldn't think so, only way would be to use the wrong shell holder but couldn't tell from the photo what it was.

I just had to drill one out of my .223 die. It was a lot work but finally got it out. Now I'm waiting on a new neck expander tip for it.
