Hey All. Been cranking out 9mm rounds for the last couple weeks and got in a bind today. I am using a Lee Classic Turret with Lee carbide dies in a single stage fashion. I dialed in my crimp die and set to work to crimp a couple hundred rounds. I failed the basic reloading rule (pay attention) and didn't double check my shell holder. I had the .38 holder in and the loaded case sucked right up into the die.
This thing is stuck in a serious fashion. I'm thinking I missed an over length case or had it turned too far down but it won't budge. Any ideas? Lee says mail it to them but with ord-m shipping I can just buy a new one. I tried putting it in a vice and punching it out but I just mashed the bullet (berrys plated rn). I thought about using a hand rasp or file to saw off the bottom of the case but the powder and primer scare me. Can I freeze it? Soak it? Help me out, fellas?




I just so happened to have a hand model nearby.
