Thanks for all the advice. I had never used a tap before and did not know what I was doing, and no instructions are included with the RCBS kit (I guess they figure we will just know how it all works). I was using the tap with a drill and had ended up damaging it, that is why I could not get threads. I went to lowes and got another tap along with the proper handle and was able to tap the brass and pull it out with the kit and my press. I have thoroughly cleaned the dies. I will be trying again tomorrow. I roll the brass across the lube pad and ensure there is lube along the entire length of the brass excluding the shoulder and neck, I guess I may need more lube on the pad, but I thought I had enough because I could see a slight film along the length of the brass but I will try more. If I get another stuck case tomorrow I will probably go and try another brand of lube, I could have gotten a bad batch.
