IS IT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE A STUCK CASE FROM AN RCBS FL SIZING DIE? THANKS

Yes, send it to RCBS they will get it out and send it back to you for a few bucks. Then go buy Imperial Sizing wax and stick no-more.

You can also drill and tap on the case base using a bolt, spacer and washer pull the case out.

RCBS and possibly others sell a neat little "Stuck Case Remover" kit. Check with your local gun store before you send that die off.

You can also drill and tap the case yourself, then use a bolt and a wrench socket to remove the case. Whatever you do, do NOT go wedging a screwdriver blade or anything else in there to pry it out. You'll just ruin the die!

There are two types of reloaders; those who has stuck a case and those that will. MUst have tool. I even had to use it on my 5.7X28MM reloading dies, just used a smaller drill, tap and bolt. worked great.
