Stuck case

[MRL]

A buddy has 1/2 of a 22 Hornet case broken off in his FL sizing die, any ideas how to remove ? Already tried the oversize brass brush.

Find a tap that is sized such that it won't touch anything but the shoulder/neck junction. Take it to somebody that knows how and weld it to a piece of allthread. Find something heavy like a piece of barrel and using a washer/nut arrangement make a slide hammer. Screw the tap into the case firmly with vise grips and snatch it out with the slide hammer.

I used a broken shell extractor from Echo, I bought from Brownells. I have also used an easy out and vice grips with a slap hammer attachment.

Most likely cheaper and faster to take it to a local gunsmith. Common fix.

Stick the die in a freezer. The brass will shrink faster than the die. After an hour, try to tap it out with a piece of drill rod.
