Threw some 44Mag cases in the tumbler without checking them out for other calibre cases.
Went to deprime one and it was really hard to push the handle. Turns out a 40 case was just the right size to fit in the 44 case.
All but two are facing mouth up, about flush with the 44 case mouth.
I've got about 15 like this and need to know if there is any way of getting them unstuck without ruining the 44 brass, don't care what happens to the 40 brass.
Thanks for the help.
 
Hammer type bullet Puller
they come out easy

you have to sort cases or it will happen all the time

the ones you have resized might or might not come out

same deal with 9mm if you're interested- what I do is use needle nose pliers to grab the 9mm after putting 44 mag in a SINGLE place press and use a part stroke tpgive me enough room to pull up on the case- or just use the needle nose outright- if u have a drill press , you can drill part way through the web of the 0mm and get the bit to "stick" and pull ot from there- on the other hand why bother - 44 mag brass is CHEAP
