   I have learned to look very carefully at any slug that doesn't rotate when encouraged.
If there is a tiny crack no matter how fine, it will lock the slug in place.
When that happens I use jeweler's screw drivers and anything else I can find to gouge out slug 
material at the crack until I have removed everything down to the form, the the two pieces can be 
removed one at a time.  (if you find one crack, there are two)
   I have only cracked cores with anything metallic, I have heard them snap!
