Screw the die into the press and lock it down with the nut.
Immobilize die body up near the stem collet using a 3/4" wrench on the flats, loosen the collet with a 1/2" wrench.
Unscrew it, retracting the decapping stem with it.
lower a 7/16 or 3/8" punch down into the stuck case until it bottoms out against the web.
Pound the case out with a hammer.
Inspect the inside of the die. There may be some brass burnished onto the walls.
Chuck one section of an aluminum shotgun cleaning rod into your drill and screw in a mop that fits tight inside the die body.
Load it up with JB compound and spin it up. Remove and apply more compound. Repeat until you don't see any more brass.
Take another clean mop and repeat using Flitz or some other fine polishing compound until it shines brightly.
Improvise where needed to the same end.
