I stuck a brass in a full length sizing die ( not enough lube) :-(. Does anyone know how to remove this stuck 7MM TEM MAG BRASS from the die without ruining the die? Any help will be appreciated!

There is a Stuck Case Kit from RCBS. You can make a kit yourself at the local hardware store for right now, and it is cheap.
You need a Socket, 1/4 Drill Bit. 1/4x20 Tap, 1/4 x20 allen screw about 2" long, and a few washers.
The socket needs to just sit on the lip of the die, but be big enough for the case head to go inside the socket.
Drill the primer pocket out, thread the hole with the tap, put the socket on the die, screw goes through washer on the back of the socket.
Thread the bolt into the threaded case, and keep turning. It will extract the case with no problem

If has the decapping pin in it loosen the nut. Find a punch the same size or slightly smaller than the pin. Use the punch and hammer to drive the pin and brass out of the die. It will probably take some pounding to get it out. Quickest easiest way I know of.Quote:

Codyspowell; it would have worked, however I drilled the primer hole out so now I am up a creek. I have to oversized the bolt I screw in there and also now I have to thread the primer end of the brass. It is a serious job, just because I got skimpy on resizing lube!

It happens to us all .. I did it ONE time with 50BMG case .. had to the a galvanized cap and drill a hole thru it to make a puller similar to the RCBS tuck case remover .. It worked greatQuote:

Lee resizing lube. I want to find a recipe for lanolin and isopropyl alcohol. Do you know of one? How much of each to mix and blah blah lol

Sure do! That's all I use! 10 or 12 parts 99% isopropyl to one part lanolin oil. It will lube 1,000's of cases! Haven't had a stuck one in over 8,000.Quote:

Well I got the recipe from the right guy! I been wanting to try it. I think it will be better by far than Lee resize lube a lot less messy in the dies for sure. Thank you for the info!

How do you get the lanolin off the casings after resizing? I know the alcohol just evaporates

I tried walnut, but it seemed to coarse and just kind of scratched the brass and not really cleaning and polishing it

Maybe I got ahold of a bad lot or something but this walnut was real coarse

Probably, if not try Petsmart or Petco if you have one in your area.Quote:

Put the brass on a shop towel and spray them with brake cleaner. It cuts the oil of and dries in minutes.

That sounds great. I will try that. Thanks!

Thank you
