The .43's OD base diameter(at the rim) is .516". 9/16" is .562". A 9/16" screw/bolt should work too.

Hmmm? Base dia at the rim is .516 ? So,the chamber is pretty close to that.And you want to go in with a .562 tap?. If you can get the tap to start,you will be cutting threads in chamber steel. FWIW,remember chambers are usually tapered. I would not risk using a 1/2 in (.500) tap.
I have successfully used a tap to extract a stuck case from a sizing die.The case head had ripped off at a stretch ring.It worked fine,
but great care must be used to ensure the tap cannot deflect into the chamber wall.
Generally,I'd leave the tap method to experienced machinists.
And a brush is usually enough.
I have not used the Cerro-Safe on a case extraction myself,but it sounds like a plan that will work.
