stuck case....help

[Recusance]

Redding dies, 300 Whisper case.

I can't back out the de-priming pin enough to get a tap into the flash hole.

the rim is completely torn off of the case.

I was using enough lube to make the case wet and my cases were coming out black from the lube already in the re sizer.

what can I do, where did I go wrong?

I am not sure where you went wrong did you have the decapping stem deep enough. I think you will need to break out a pair of pliers and a blow torch and get midevil on that thing. It may be the brass. Or send it to Redding.

you can try to get the stem unscrewed from the decapper, then drop a punch offset to knock it out.....set in in pen oil overnight you may have to tear the case out :(

I don't know what your problem is in this case.

If you buy Lee dies, stuck cases are no problem. Loosen the decapping pin and use a hammer on the decapping pin to drive the stuck case out. The Lee case lube (in a toothpaste type tube, is excellent).

What type lube are you using? I have never used liquid oil...that may be your problem.
