I have to laugh at myself. I actually got a case stuck since I posted.
Non-carbide die, and I rushed to start sizing before the lanolin spread and the alcohol vaped off.

I have had this happen maybe three times. Here is what I did:
1. if possible grasp decap pin with vise grips and see if you can remove it.
2. Loosen decap rod and pull expander up against bottom of neck where it will bind and continue to turn until decap rod comes out. The expander will still be inside the case.
3. Insert a smaller rod into top hole ( I cut a little point on this rod and work it around to where it goes in the back of the expander/ it is not threaded) next I use a arbor press or hammer can tap the rod down inside the case and when the case comes out cut the case in half and get your expander back. Expanders are very hard and won't deform or be damaged.
