    Am I being too simple when I suggest that you chamber the cases and fire them.......The primer going off will dislodge/burn the powder.......then deprime and resize.

    Got the bastard. Chucked back in the press with a pipe wrench holding the die and wound it out with bolt/socket combo. Took a bit to move. Thanks all for the advice. Every days a school day eh.

    Cheers all. Had also tried the socket trick and slowly pulling out but will give that another nudge. Never thought about the graphite for necks only. Thanks for the advice.

    grandpamac liked post by Tahr On thread : .222 turning back the clock
    Exactly. My few rifles cover the complete range but I feel the most comfortable and "at peace" hunting with a .223 (could well be a .222). Mainly because it brings it all together - a need to be...

    Yes more suitable implies unsuitable. Yes I do have “more suitable rifles” if you want to term it like that. Perhaps I should not have taken the piss and gone fishing at the start of the thread. I...

    Well, start with "don't be a dickhead" and go from there. I had a chat with my Snr Sgt mate and the message was simple - too many dickheads, too many incidents, too many stupid deaths. Dickheads,...
