It will come out...get a bigger hammer! Clean the brass before you size ... lube the mouth of the case.

Once you drive the case out of the die, use a pipe cutter to cut the case in half, drop out the decaper and pin.....

Put the lock nut on loose, drive the pin with a punch the brass will drive out of the die. Cut the case in half with a hacksaw or pipe cuter......don't mess around trying to save ruined brass.

Did I tell you to use more lube...put a tiny bit in the case mouth?

Sorta like...need more cow bell!
