I was shooting some of my newly reloaded ammo at the range the other night when one of the bullets failed to exit the barrel. I don’t know if I had a dud primer or if there just wasn’t any powder in it or what. I ended up taking a small block of wood and drilling a hole in it the diameter of the barrel and about 2 inches deep. I then dropped the barrel in the hole and clamped the block down to my workbench. I grabbed a metal drill bit extender rod that was about 10″ long and dropped it into the barrel until it hit the bullet. After much beating with a hammer on the end of the rod the bullet finally came out. It didn’t seem to damage the barrel at all so I guess everything’s fine. I found a thread here that gives some more info on how to remedy this situation if you run into it.
