Description
Every reloader runs into it eventually. You forget the case lube, or you skimp on it, and next thing you know a piece of brass is welded into your sizing die and the press won't budge. The Forster Stuck Case Remover is the fix for that exact headache, and it does the job without you having to drill and tap the case head or wreck the inside of the die body.
This is a complete kit built to work on most sizing dies that use threaded spindles, specifically 1/4-28 or 10-32 thread. Forster designed it around their own dies that feature the elevated E-Z Out expander ball, and the clever part is that it clears cases even when the decapping rod and expander ball are stuck in there right along with the brass. Every component is hardened steel so it holds up to repeated use, and it ships with a washer that protects the top of your die when you crank down on it.
How the Forster Stuck Case Remover Earns Its Spot on the Bench
The process is straightforward. You back out the decapping assembly, secure the die in a vise (a soft rag around the threads keeps your jaws from marring anything), and use the tool to draw or tap the case free. Folks who've reloaded for years and hit their first stuck case regularly report the whole ordeal takes about ten minutes start to finish. It's the kind of tool you don't think about until the day you desperately need it, and then it saves an expensive die from the trash.
Who Should Keep a Forster Case Remover Around
If you run Forster or Bonanza sizing dies, this is close to essential insurance for your setup. It's rated for .22 through .50 caliber dies, so a single tool covers most of what a home reloader or bench-shop gunsmith is going to run. Buy it before you need it and you'll thank yourself later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Forster Stuck Case Remover work on brands other than Forster dies?
It's built primarily for Forster sizing dies with the elevated E-Z Out expander ball, but it also works with most sizing dies that use 1/4-28 or 10-32 thread spindles. Before you buy, it's worth checking the spindle thread on your particular die, since some brands like Hornady rifle dies use different fitments. When the threads match up, it handles brass across the caliber range with no trouble.
Does this tool remove the case even if the decapping rod is stuck too?
Yes, that's one of the standout features of this design. It's made to clear stuck cases even when the decapping rod and expander ball are lodged in the die along with the brass. That's a situation that stumps a lot of makeshift fixes, so it's a real advantage here.
Will using the Stuck Case Remover damage my die?
No, that's the whole point of it. Unlike the old drill-and-tap method, this tool pulls the case without harming the inside of the die body. The included washer protects the top of the die while you work, and wrapping a soft rag around the threads before clamping in a vise keeps the jaws from marring the finish.
How long does it take to get a stuck case out?
Most reloaders report the full job takes around ten minutes. You back out the decapping assembly, secure the die in a vise, insert the correct tamping rod, and free the case. It's a simple process even the first time you do it.
