Stuck Case Remover Kit — You’ll Need One Sooner or Later
Sooner or later, every hand-loader will get a cartridge case stuck in a die. Perhaps you forgot to lube a case, or maybe you even ran the wrong cartridge into the die. Thankfully, there are affordable solutions to the problem. Lyman offers a very handy Stuck Case Remover Kit. This compact Kit ($23.95 MSRP) contains ALL the tools you’ll need to remove most stuck rifle cases and pistol cases. (No separate tap holder is required.) Basically you drill and tap the stuck case, insert a cap screw, then use the wrench to remove the case from the die through a camming action. The Lyman kit, part #7680350, includes a unique, dual-purpose threaded cap that screws over the end of the die. This cap acts as both a drill guide and a guide for the pulling screw. An extra-long hex wrench is included which provides plenty of leverage when removing stuck cases and also doubles as a handle for the tap wrench.

The new Lyman Kit isn’t the first stuck case remover device on the market. RCBS also offers a Stuck Case Remover Kit that costs just $16.14 on Amazon.com. The RCBS unit works fine, but you will need a separate tool handle to hold the tap. This video shows how to remove stuck cases with the RCBS tool. The operation is similar with the new Lyman tool.

You can easily make a kit yourself and likely have the parts laying around home to do so. I use a appropriate drill and tap size. Then use a shallow socket, washer and bolt.
I found that buying a stuck case remover has helped tremendously – haven’t had once since!
But I have also gone exclusively to using Imperial Sizing Wax over spray on stuff.
Trust me, someday you will need a stuck case remover kit so buy one now and just keep it on hand. It took me 44 years of reloading to stick a case during a major reloading job and I’m so glad I had the RCBS kit on hand.
