gerritm Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Had a case separate in my open gun today. I made a hook to grab the case but not working. Really stuck. Any ideas to get it out? gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncie21 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 9mm boresnake or wood dowel from the barrel end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJB Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Remove the barrel. Ram a spent .223 case up there. Ram it in there pretty hard where it can grab the 9mm hull. Now you have something sticking out to grab a hold of. Remove the .223 case & the 9mm hull should come with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m700 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I'd say dowel. Once it's part away out a good pair of pliers will grabSent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerritm Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Tried the. 223 case seemed good and tight but didn't get it. Guess a trip to find a dowel. Any type of easy out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Run a brass cleaning brush in and pull it out backwards, bristles with catch on case and drag it out. [from the chamber end, of course] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerritm Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Already tried this. Case is stuck as tight as I have seen. Normally just use little hook tool I made and drags it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJB Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Put the barrel in the freezer for a while & then try again......and twist a little while pulling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerritm Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Got it. Took a fluted easy out and started a slight cut at top then took a sharp pick and split it out. Pretty sure it was an extreme brass head stamp. Really thin. Not a stepped one or steel. Had a stuck extreme brass earlier. Culled all the weird head stamps out of my loaded rounds. These were commercial processes brass not my normal range brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I threw a hook and pick set from harbor freight in my range bag for that exact reason. My daughter had a piece of stepped brass separate in her chamber. It was a PIA to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about the thinness of this case just could not get a grip on it. Gun was clean with maybe less than 50 rounds. Wished I knew exactly what headstamp it was for sure. gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapo Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Sort them and look for which head stamp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishii Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 What I do I line the bottom of a large bin with the white plastic trays from blazer 45 ammo, and dump my brass in, about 90% lands with the case mouth facing up and look inside. It’s easy to spot 380 and 40 and cull, I looked for stepped brass, Bredan primed, etc. take a empty tray cover and flip the case in check the rest and look for crimped brass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another benefit is you get a count of how much brass you have processed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
