I've pulled many separated cases over the years with just an oversized bore brush. Try shoving a tough 45 brush or something like that in from the rear until it is tight and then backing it out. Sometimes if it goes in really tight you might have to tap it out with a rod dropped in from the muzzle end. The wires on the brush man exert a lot of force when bent one direction and then forced the other direction.
