I am decapping range 9 mm and broke a case in half. The top part of the case is stuck in the die. It is a Lee carbide. Checking all the brass again. I did not see any defect in the broken case prior

Holy sheep shit batman! I'm quessing you missed a split. Did you get the other half out yet?
Did you clean the brass first?
I never had that happen, but I have had primers break (bottom of the primer came out but not the sides) on brass that sat in snow all winter.
Decapped or decapped & sized? If you sized any other cases with a chunk of case stuck in the die, I'd inspect them prior to loading. If you just decapped them, how the hell did a case break off inside a decapping die?Yup..tumbled for 6 hours. I was not happy with it and tumbled another two hours before I started. I did not even notice it was broken. I decapped another 3 or four rounds and then saw it in the bin
