There is no way to remove that live round safely. The die has now turned into a hand grenade. The only solution would be to dispose of the die (preferably in a deep lake). Please do not send the die back to us as it can harm the people carrying the package if it should detonate.

Thank You,

A ridiculous statement, coming from a company that manufactures reloading equipment.

And... Smokeless powder and primers are Haz-Mat (as we all know). Every smokeless powder MSDS and primer MSDS specifically states not to let it contaminate any body of water.
...Wonderful advice, from an irresponsible, unhelpful, greedy ("throw it away and buy a new one"), and ignorant company.



I revert to my previous (unchanged) opinion:
Yank that thing out. It's a brass case in a steel and cast iron press. The case will lose the fight, and you can send your POS die back to the irresponsible company, for a refund.
