I believe that the top of the Dillon crimp die is open. Should be a simple fix.

Stand the die with the round in it right side up where it won't be disturbed.
Now, get some Kroil. Fill up the top of the die with it.

Now, go do something else for a few hours.

When you return, (do this over a towel, it can get somewhat messy) get a pair of good, strong pliers. Grasp the case BODY ONLY with the pliers, and wiggle the round back and forth until it comes out.

NOTE: Do NOT grab the case head. You might crush the primer that way, and you REALLY don't want that.

Method #2: NOTE WELL: THIS ONE ONLY WORKS WITH BOTTLENECK RIFLE CASES. IF YOU ARE LOADING A STRAIGHT WALLED PISTOL CASE, DO NOT--I REPEAT, DO NOT--TRY THIS METHOD.

You will have to find a press, preferably a single stage press to mount the die into.

Put Kroil in the top of the die, and wait for a bit.

Now take a punch and GENTLY tap the bullet in until it falls into the case.

Again, squirt some more Kroil in to kill the powder.

Now, using a punch that fits into the mouth of the case, tap the case out of the die.

Hope this helps!
