Well me about 45 years, and no stuck case yet. I've always used RCBS shellholders, so maybe that's why? Closest was LC 7.62 that was indeed used in a machinegun....which I bought in bulk. Still shooting it. I knew I could force it but I also knew the risk so I didn't. When the going got tougher, I replaced the wax lube with RCBS waterbase lube and pad.....that was enough for most, but for the few still hard, STP was the last resort. Patience, slow and easy...especially coming out. I always used mica in the necks of that stuff liberally. Never forced it, it just stretches the hell out of the necks even if you don't stick it.
Below was the last batch of that MG stuff. It was worth the trouble. If I had stuck some....it may not have been....patience and slow is the best advice I got.....if it gets difficult back off....before you can't.
