It is a nut pick that you get with a nut cracker. Most times they are a small dia. metal rod with a small curve on one end for getting the meat out of nuts.
I take a vice grips or pliers and make the pointy end of the pick a small hook. When you are breaking down improperly made rounds when pulling the bullets the GC come off most of the time. When that happens I pour the powder out of the case. So the only thing left is the GC in the case. I raise the case above eye level, litely bounce the case so the check is just inside the neck with the cup up. Insert the hooked pick into the case hook down. Simply hook the cup of the check and with downward pressure pull the check out.
I know that no one on this site makes that kind of mistake that needs to break down some loads. So you can pass it on to someone that does make that kind of mistake. Kevin
