I've been shooting Aguila Super Colibri ammo in my Remington model 34 .22 rifle. The ammo has no powder, just a primer. The way I understand it, regular Colibri ammo is for pistols only, but the Super Colibri can be shot in rifles. It's always been fine, but yesterday they were coming out abnormally slow. I could see the bullets in the air. Then I must have spaced out and one of them didn't leave the barrel. I shot at least one more after that. They are about 3 inches from the muzzle. I tried to tap them out with an aluminum cleaning rod, but no luck. Any suggestions to fix my stupid mistake? Thanks
 
Most time people recommend using a wooden dowel for bullets getting stuck. Take a hammer to the end of the dowel to knock them loose, and you do not have to worry about the wood damaging your barrel.
 
Try some Kroil or other very thin penetrating lube. Then as has been stated place the appropriate size wood dowel (available at any hardware or WW) Tap progressively harder until it breaks loose. It'll work!

Don't ask me how I know!:uhoh:
BTW, I restricted my S. Colibri use now to my Single Six!

I think that the rifle is absolutely ruined.:eek: I will take it off of your hands and save you the task of hammering the stuck bullets out. :D Just let me know if you need my assistance.:evil:
