Thanks for this vid brother.. my son jammed a .30-06 case in my new die tonight. He thought we were going to have to buy a new die. When I showed him this trick, he thought his old man was pretty smart. I have to give credit were credit is due. Thanks brotha, you saved our bacon.

I've known this trick about drilling and tapping the hole technique but when you reversed the die into the press and used it as your vise, i thought wow thats genius!! Love all your videoes, keep up the super work! I look forward to all your videos. They are so easy to follow and informative! Have a great day and GOD BLESS my friend!

Technique #2 saved the day for a Lyman die where I'd put in a properly lubed cartridge with a rim just bent enough that it failed on the downstroke, leaving the brass jammed in the die. Without a machine screw, however, I used a 1/4" hex bolt and turned that to remove the shell. Worked like a charm! Many thanks!

Can't thank you enough for keeping this video posted. I stuck a brand new Starline 6.8 SPC case last week. I have the Hornady Stuck Case Remover tool, but despite following instructions I couldn't unstick the case. I was on the right track, but when I encountered stiff resistance I stopped...thinking I'd bottomed out the tool. No...I just needed to try again, applying a bit of lubricant (gun oil) around the case head. It took actually watching your process to understand that I'd done everything correctly (mostly) but gave up when the case didn't just pop out. A bit of lube...and voila! I don't care much about one destroyed Starline case...it was the unusable sizing die that was jamming me up.

When describing tools needed to drill-tap method use said 7/32" drill bit. Then in the process you said 7/16" drill bit (way bigger bit). Regardless, your video was a great help. I had tools on hand and was able remove my stuck cartridge with your help. Greatly appreciate you!

I've been reloading for 28 years and tonight was the first time I've ever had a rifle case stick. You're video with the drill and tap removal was excellent. I was able to remove the case with out any swearing, that was reserved for getting it stuck in the first place. I normally use a lube which I wipe on but was trying a spray on and obviously didn't use enough. Thank you again!

Had a 30-06 case stuck in Lyman sizing-decapping die. Drilled with .219 (7/32") bit, threaded with 1/4 x 20 tap, put grade 5 screw through washer and socket, and turned screw into case and out it came as you described. Thanks very much for this lesson.. Lesson #2: use proper amount of lubrication in future sizing operations.

Whenever using taps, it's imperative to go forward for a little bit, then reverse so you clean the threads. This will also prevent your tap causing the die to turn so easily. It will cause less stress on your tap, too. When tapping steel, you will break the tap if you don't use this procedure.
@ralphhix7546 жыл бұрын
Been there and done that. If using RCBS Dies, can't completely remove Decapping/depriming stem. Use a spacer on the drill bit to prevent drilling deeper than about 5/16-3/8" or drill bit will jump through base of cartridge case, and bend/destroy Decaping/DePrimer pin. Don't ask me how I know that. Lol.

I was getting ready to tell you... When drilling metal(of any kind), apply plenty of pressure, and use very little rotation. I've learned to do this by "feel", because I've been drilling holes into hard strata(sandstone) all of my life, in the coal mining industry. I've sat and watched a lot of "rookie" roof bolter operators, grind down bit, after bit, after bit, because they were using too much rotation. I always let them struggle for awhile, before I tell them the "secret". LOL I heard you say how you had your drill set "slow", on purpose. Go even slower, with more pressure, for even better results. Great video! Thanks for the help!! I got a RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme for Christmas. I'm waiting on my dies to come in, then I'll be going at it. I've been watching tons of videos on reloading, to learn all that I can.

Did it just like you said worked just fine. I did it on .223 rem. He misspeaks about the hole size once. remember its 7/32 inch [just under 1/4] i used a 3/8ths in socket for my bushing with 1/4 inch drive. Id also recommend bying different lengths of screws. The more threads you drive in before you start drawing out the casing, the less likely it is the threads will strip.

When running a tap in, it's important to back the tap out 1/4 turn for every 3/4 turn (or so) that you go in. This action breaks loose the chips being pushed up by the thread cutters and moves them into the flutes, which keeps the tap from getting stuck. Also, use a squirt of cutting oil on the tap - it makes the tap much easier to turn, cuts cleaner threads, and your tap will stay sharp a lot longer.

If you were tapping something harder like steel then what you are saying is true, but for something as soft as brass that is not strictly necessary.

Very good video. ---- Alternative technique: Instead of "backing up" the die with the ram, it is equally effective to clamp a pair of vise-grip pliers onto the die body. The pliers will arrest the die from spinning when they encounter the body of the press. This will allow you to use both hands on the workpiece, instead of having to use one hand to maintain pressure on the handle of the press.
