Remove stuck cases with the Stuck Case Remover from Frankford Arsenal
A case stuck solid in your sizing die — it happens to every reloader sooner or later. Usually because of insufficient lubrication, sometimes because a case has stretched just a bit too far. The Frankford Arsenal Stuck Case Remover is a clamp-style tool that lets you pull the stuck case straight from your reloading press, without removing the die or reaching for additional tools.
How does it work?
The Stuck Case Remover is inserted into the ram of your reloading press via the shell holder. Then you tighten the adjustable clamp around the rim of the stuck case. By pulling the press lever down, you use the full mechanical advantage of the press to extract the case from the die. This delivers considerably more force than pulling by hand or with pliers, and it works in a controlled manner so you do not damage the die.
Wide calibre range
The adjustable screw clamp fits cases from .17 Remington all the way up to .338 Lapua Magnum. This covers virtually all common calibres for both pistol and rifle. Whether you have a .223 Remington or a .308 Winchester stuck, this tool gets the job done.
Prevention is better than cure
A stuck case remover is insurance — you hope you will never need it, but you will be glad it is in your drawer when things go wrong. Want to prevent stuck cases in the future? Always apply proper lubrication before resizing. Our shop carries a range of case lubes and sizing waxes that significantly reduce the risk of cases getting stuck.

Comparison with the RCBS Stuck Case Remover
There are two common methods for removing stuck cases. The RCBS Stuck Case Remover works from the inside: you drill through the primer pocket, tap a thread and pull the case out with a bolt. The Frankford Arsenal works from the outside: you clamp around the case rim and use the mechanical advantage of the press. Both methods work, but the Frankford is quicker to use because no drilling is involved. The RCBS, on the other hand, is more effective when the case is stuck so tightly that the clamp cannot get a proper grip on the rim.
