[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 1738918, member: 807"] I'm kinda in agreement that it probably has the top half of a case stuck in it. If you can look at the die from the bottom with a bright light you may be able to see it. Can you remove the expander/decapping stem? if not, that is most likely what the problem is. You may have to screw the decapper all the way into and through the die to get it out if there is a case neck in the die. I have sucessfully recovered two dies that were in that condition by using a small piece of brass rod ground nearly flat on one side and sharpened to drive in between the case and the die. DON'T use anything but brass for that operation or you will scar the die. If you can't get it out and it is stuck in there, PM me and I'll see if I can help. Blitzfike [/QUOTE]
