I loaded the half moon clips for my 625-8, now for the life of me I can't get the empties out of the clips, tried the demooner that came with the gun, still no good.......

There is always the old tried and true method. A vise-grip on the clip, a long-nose drop-nose plier in the case. Crude and slow but effective.
OP
Old tried and true works every time......

I saw a new fangled devise just 2 days ago that both loads them and unloads them with a simple quarter turn. Takes seconds! Sorry I don’t know the name of it, but if you search I’m betting you would find it.
Personally I never cared for them, but that’s a different story.

Some have improvised, and IIRC, using approximately 6" of 1/2" copper tubing and a few wraps of electrical tape (optional) on the handle.
Requires means to hold firmly (vice) and hacksaw. Nice to have file or sandpaper to debur.

The tools mentioned in post 5 and 6 don't work on 1/2 moon clips, only full moons.

An old 1911 barrel works well to pull the cases off.

I use the inside corner of a steel GI ammo can.

Auto Rim brass remains a practical solution to clip woes.

Starline may be the only source nowadays, but it's good brass. I'm using it along with some old Remington Auto Rim that I'm having a hard time wearing out.
