Oh FFS!

I remember being given some advice at work.

"If you are not in the mood to do your job, do not come to work".

It was (and remains) good advice.

Seems to me, the same can be said for reloading.

Just not in the mood. Should not be allowed near anything 'pointy' (no change there then), and I definitely should not have gone down to the Cave this morning and try to knock up a dozen .243 rounds...,




I have (no doubt) made it ten times worse by trying to fix it.

It is now sitting on my study desk, mocking me. I am just estimating how far I can chuck it...



Basta*d thing.

Fcuk, fcuk, fcukity fcuk!

Not bad…almost reached Malaysia
Ps…do you a good deal on case lube if you’re “stuck” (pardon the pun)

[Smellydog]

What is, how many stuck cases in July can we get campaign?

 

[Smellydog]

Can you loosen the de capper, thread the die upside down in your press and raise the ram on the loose decapper?

 

[bullet chucker]

Now' this will be an interesting thread, its started all ready. wheres my coffee?

BC.

 

[Smellydog]

Wait, that only works if the de capper is held in via a collet....

 

[Smellydog]

Got to get that de capper out, invert the die in the press and get a rod pushing up on the ram.

Whilst some knock Lee dies, I love them

 

[bowji john]

I’ve it’s brother sitting on my desk

Wasn’t in the mood, didn’t bother lubing all the cases and got it stuck

I have a case remover but failed to read instructions and tried to use the tapping die as a drill bit

Just one mistake after another

The advice I can give is...
Do what you are good at,

We have yet to find out what it is.

 

[Fosbery Holster]

Whoops not another mishap……that’s not like you is it !!!

 

[Smellydog]

Give the bloke a break, most reloaders have done this.
By all means put it down and leave it for a while.
Try warming it up also.
One could simply bin it, go online and source another die. 243.... might be one on eBay!

 

[Smellydog]

Hey S62... Try some of that patch lube I sent. Makes good case lube too

 

[Klenchblaize]

Stick it in the freezer.

[Liveonce]

next time remember to take the lube from the bedroom to the man cave

 

[Eddie P]

That's why I use lee dies... not for some technical advance, but they are cheaper to replace when buggered up!

Well, it’s never happened to me.
However, I know lots of ways to remove stuck cases and I’m actually quite good at it.

Oh, I think we all know what I am good at.

It's not easy being this shite at everything - takes real talent.

Fcuking up. That is what I am good at.

Heat it up a bit, spray it with penetrating and easing oil and leave it a few hours before you try again.
If theres still no movement, heat it up again, more P+E and put it in the freezer.
You only need to get it warm, not red hot, you do want to get it very cold, so leave it in the freezer overnight.
A small pipe wrench and a vise will be helpful.

Since you appear to attract far more than your fair share of misfortune, maybe consider wearing gloves and eye protection when you take the die out of the freezer and while heating it?
Center aisles in ALDI should see you sorted.
