[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 735863, member: 423"] Thanks! I read about some of those, and for that to work the decapping pin has to be out of the way, but on the Lee dies, if the expander on the pin is past the neck, you can't pull it out. So I ended up using the expander/decapping pin as a punch. Put it back in the die, retracted the ram, and smacked it a couple times with a hammer. I then had to cut the case in half to get the expander out. This [URL="http://thegunwiki.com/Gunwiki/ProcTapStuckCaseFromDie"]site[/URL] shows what I had to do better. This picture shows why getting a case stuck in a Lee die sucks. There is no way to get the decapping pin/ expander out of the way to drill out the primer pocket. RCBS on top, Lee on bottom. [attach=full]67298[/attach] ETA: Although I had lubed the cases, I did some reading, and I figured I had probably underlubed. After getting everything working again, I went back through and relubed generously, and no problems. Go figure, I didn't think I had done anything differently than I ever had before. [/QUOTE]
