A couple weeks back I was loading148 Gr .358 coated LWC with 3.2gr N320 on my T7 press. Somewhere around 50 rounds loaded I rotated the turret head to flare and then to the seating dye. Apparently, and I don't know why, I must have rotated the turret counter clockwise taking the load back to the de-capping dye. About half way through the stroke I stopped knowing something was wrong. The WC is buried about 8mm below the case mouth and the case is slightly bulged. I tried removing it with my Hornaday impact tool but it won't budge. What shall I do...can't throw it in the trash...never done this before.:(

Cut the brass with a wirecutter or what ever you have to the depth of the bullet in about three places around the case neck. Pull back on the cut brass with pliers slightly , but not so much that it won't fit in a kinetic (hammer-type) bullet puller. Then use the puller and the bullet should come out easily.
