Well, here's a first!

I had a .38 spl case head separation in my depriming/resizing die!

I guess I got my money's worth out of this batch of brass if it's gotten weak enough to separate in the die. lol

Anybody else ever have this happen?

I've had it happen in a chamber, but never in the resize die.

 

My guess is that you were using a carbide die or you would not have gotten the upper portion out.

 

EDIT:  on second thought, you may have just invented a new wildcat .38 mini special..... :D

"The .38 mini special", haha! I should seat a bullet in it for a conversation piece!

Yep, it was an RCBS carbide die. To remove the upper portion I used a stuck case remover designed for removing a case from a rifle chamber.

The head stamp on the case is Federal.

A round ball and a pinch of BP would be cool!

A 'lite' touch of case lube spray may keep that from happening again.

But it would never make minimum smoke factor.
