Stuck cases are every reloader's nightmare—but they don't have to mean a ruined die or a frustrating halt to your loading session. The Hornady Stuck Case Remover Kit is a simple, effective solution that uses the leverage of your reloading press to extract a stubborn case safely and without damage. Whether you're loading rifle or pistol rounds, this kit gives you the tools to get back to work fast.
The kit works by leveraging physics rather than brute force. You drill through the primer pocket using the included #7 drill bit, then use the 1/4"-20 tap to create a threaded hole in the case base. The remover body then threads in, and a quick stroke of your press ram pulls the case free—no hammering, no risk to your expensive dies. It's straightforward, reliable, and has saved countless reloaders from replacing a die or buying a second press just to recover one case.
Because the kit works with most universal shellholder ram designs, it's compatible with the presses you probably already own: Hornady, Redding, RCBS, and others that share the standard ram configuration. Keep it on your reloading bench as insurance—you'll use it when you need it most, and you'll be glad it's there.
What's Included
- #7 drill bit for creating the initial hole through the primer pocket

Frequently Asked Questions
What presses will this stuck case remover work with?
The kit fits most reloading presses with a universal shellholder ram, including Hornady, Redding, and RCBS models. If your press uses a standard ram, this tool will work with it.
Will this damage my die or press when removing a stuck case?
No. By drilling and tapping the case itself and using the press leverage to extract it, the remover applies force directly to the case rather than to your die or equipment. This method is designed to protect your investment in dies and presses.
Can I use this on any caliber?
Yes, this kit is multi-caliber and will work on rifle and pistol cases as long as the case is large enough to accommodate the #7 drill bit through the primer pocket.
What do I need to do to use the kit?
Insert the stuck case into a shellholder on your ram, use the #7 drill bit to drill through the primer pocket into the case base, tap the hole with the 1/4"-20 tap, thread the remover body into the tapped hole, and stroke your press ram to extract the case.
