hornady free bullets - The Firearms Forum

Does anybody have a good way to get the upc off the hornady dies cases. I've tried getting it damp and using blow dryer. putting it in freezer for a while either way it won't come off without ruining it.
Thanks

Hairdryer for 15-20 seconds. Then carve around the UPC with a knife and peel it off. Be careful with the ink on the label until it cools so it doesn't smudge.

I have sent mine in by using a razor blade and the paper was thin and ripped. No problem getting the bullets...they have to assume that if you have the receipt and the ripped paper, it is good enough. They put the damn thing in a bad spot anyway.

a product called goof - off works amazing on labels.

I soaked mine with rem oil. it came right off after about 10 or 15 minutes.

Goo Gone comes in a bottle u can get it at home depot great for getting sticky off or nail polish remover

thanks for the tips, i tried the hairdryer for about 20sec and managed to get them off. as you said not a good spot for them i was about ready to cut the plastic underneath to get at them (very frustrating)
