My biggest pet peeve is stuck cases. When I had my .458 Socom, I had to reload as the rounds were about the same price as commercial .50 BMG. Biggest issue with it is that it is a round that is notorious for sticking if you don't get enough case lube on it.
What's your guys main way for getting stuck cases out?Southeastern Oklahoma/Northeastern Texas helper. Please don't hesitate to contact me.

Sure, for pistol & straight walled rounds...that 458 socom is just a round that sticks cases if you aren't very...very diligent with the lube. I use Hornady One Shot spray lube and they changed up the formula a few years ago & I may have to find another lube now.

Try Imperial. It is the best sizing lube out there.

The best way I have found is to back out your de-priming rod back into the body of the case and drill out the primer hole and tap it (1/4 X 20 I think but not near them to look) so that you can stack up a couple of nuts / washers / something that is larger than the case but will rest on the die and use the capscrew as a puller in the shell to get it out. There are a couple of good video's on youtube that you can watch. Originally Posted by shooter74743

Hope this helps.

I currently reload .243 for stalking deer in the UK. I use 100gr Speer softpoints and 90gr Nosler ballistic tips.
Soon I'll be getting a 25-06, so will be experimenting with that calibre before long...EMC45 likes this.
