Hi guys!

I have a stuck case (7.62x25TT case) in my LEE Powder Through Expanding die.

Somehow, i only lubed the case body but not the shoulder and neck in/out. , it was already too late when i realized it! :redface:

i can see the bottom of the case from the top of the die, as there is a big enough hole after removing the top part of the die which accomodate a funnel or a powder hopper.

i am wondering if i can spray some penetrating oil into the die and try to knock the case out from the top with a metal rod and a hammer? or any other ideas?

right now, the die and the stuck case is on my single stage press.
 
I recall seeing something about that on Lee Precision Tools (lee website), & I think the answer was the hammer. Go have a peek in there.:) 2nd thought, hold off on the hammer, that was for a decapping die.
