A case remover (10) is used for dislodging a bullet case (12) lodged within a sizing die (14). The case (12) includes a neck (20), a shoulder (22) depending rearwardly from the neck (20) and a bottom wall (34). The die (14) includes a die body (48) having a second bore (58) extending through the longitudinal axis of the die body (48). A sizing rod (52) engages the second bore (58) and has lock and depth nuts (54, 56) threadably engaging the upper part (68) of the sizing rod (52) and a sizer (72) rigidly secured to the bottom part (70) of the sizing rod (52). The second bore (58) includes a lower wall (62). The case remover (10) includes a bolt (80) having a third bore (90) extending through the longitudinal axis of the bolt (80), a nut (82) threadably engaging the bolt ( 80) and a knock-out pin (84). To dislodge the case (12) lodged within the die (14), the bolt (80) and the nut (82) are set in engagement with the sizing rod (52) through the third bore (90) of the bolt (80) and are positioned between the body (48) and the lock and depth nuts (54, 56). While the nut (82) is held stationary, the bolt (80) is threaded out of engagement with the nut (82) such that upward movement of the bolt (80) exerts an upward force on the lock and depth nuts (54, 56) to thereby move the sizing rod (52) upwardly to force the sizer (72) through the neck (20). To remove the case (12) from the second bore (58), the knock-out pin (84) is inserted into the second bore (58) and is forced against the bottom wall (34) to dislodge the case (12) from the wall (62 ) of the second bore (58).
