The Hornady 050033 Stuck Case Remover eliminates the frustration of extracting stuck brass cases from sizing dies during reloading operations. This precision-engineered tool transforms a potentially expensive problem into a simple repair procedure.
What Makes This Different
Unlike improvised extraction methods that risk damaging expensive dies, this purpose-built remover uses controlled drilling and threading techniques. The included #7 drill bit creates the exact pilot hole diameter needed for the 1/4-20 tap, ensuring consistent results across multiple calibers. Professional reloaders rely on this systematic approach rather than risking die damage with makeshift solutions.

Reloaders report successful extractions even from severely stuck cases that resist other removal methods.
