Good to know how to do this---just in case.
Next question----why did the case come apart ?

Die /case problem solved....anybody want...
to know how?
Just send a SASE to: Greyfox along with a generous gratuity
Naaah, I'll share.
Actually, none of the suggestions worked by themselves alone. I ended up doing a cerrosafe cast, but it wouldn't adhere to the case walls. However, since it had a stepdown and did not touch the die wall, I had an idea. I put a drop of Super Glue on each side of the cast and dropped it back in the die, tapped it tight and waited about a minute. Turned the die over and tapped it out with a punch and a brass hammer, the broken case came with it. The satisfaction is almost worth all the hassle.
At least now I know how to do the other one and the chamber cast is cooling in it right now. I'd think I was pretty smart if I hadn't been the one that screwed up two dies in the first place
