RE: Brass Stuck in Die
 

Take the good advice that's been given, and get a stuck case remover. We ALL have had it happen to us....and let me give you a little personal advice from "been there, done that"....The drill that you use with the remover kit...mine got dull from being used in a pinch for other things around the house. Next time I stuck a case, it was too dull to drill with, so I used the next larger drill size from my shop sets... It was slightly too big for the tap to cit a good thread in, and the puller wouldn't work. Had to attack from above..

got to your local hardware store, buy a 3/8 x 16 tap and a bit for it, drill out the primer pocket and back end of the case, tap it, us spacers to hold the 3/8 bolt off the die, thread the bolt in the case with a nut and washer on it with the spacer between the die and washer/nut, tighten up the nut, presto a home made stuck case remover, works good. Hope it helps

You just described what the stuck case remover basically is...except it's all packaged up in one neat little RCBS box and no spacers and nuts to mess with.
