Whoever's idea it was to use a flathead screw driver to pry it out with the feed ramp as a fulcrum, worked great. Was able to slowly apply considerable pressure and slowly it came out.

And I didn't shoot myself. Thanks gang.
You are welcome.
And thank you for not shooting yourself in the process.

By the way, any feedback on what happened / bent case, etc?

Excitements over!

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along!

But I would like to point out that since the cartridge showed no sealant around the primer, that aforementioned Kroil would likely have penetrated and killed the primer. Or so we are warned when it comes to some cleaning and lube products.

And did anybody else notice that it was a TFL member named "BOOGIE the oily" who included pictures of lube products? I guess we may know one other interest he or she has.

TXAZ,

No apparent damage to the cartridge whatsoever. I can only assume that when the brass was sized, it was sized incorrectly.

Oh, you... YOU!!!
That was a good one. And you didn't notice that in the link I posted, I suggested a home-brew (the last one on the list), which is made with... ATF!!!

In any case, I'm a "he", and yes, my lifelong hobby is mechanics. However, that doesn't have anything to do with "Boogie, the oily"...
