Couple years ago I posted about how I couldn't find a round I suspected was underloaded. My problem was I checked everything too much and wouldn't let my Square Deal Dillon do it's job.

I pulled rounds etc. till I decided I was mistaken. There was no such round.

I found it today. It lodged in the barrel of my Smith & Wesson.

By the way, I don't know who said that when you get a bullet stuck in the barrel you just gently tap it out with a dowel rod.................................BUT IT DON'T WORK LIKE THAT!

The bullet is out, but I butchered a cleaning rod and jagged tip to do it. Plus, I started with rubber mallet (no good), 20 oz framing hammer (no good), and then an Estwing trim hammer (good).

Had it happen once.....not paying attention to my progressive reloader and ran out of powder. Found the problem rounds by weighing each one.

REMBRANDT!!

I've sold some choice pieces, but man, that shotgun!

you're very lucky that a cleaning rod and jag were the only casualties of removing the bullet.bareels are very easily damaged trying to remove bullets.
don't ask me how I know this.:(

C'mon. How do you know this?

How far down the barrel did the bullet go? I had a squib a few weeks back and when I finally got the FMJ bullet out the rifling had only left marks about 1/16-1/8" on the bullet. I was able to get it out by using an oak dowel and a hammer.

How far down the barrel did the bullet go?

Just beyond half way. It was a pain to get out.

So you ended up using a cleaning rod? I've heard the hardwood dowel thing, but what do you guys think of a brass rod? Too hard?
