Squib Removal Question

[divingin]

Also should be noted in this thread, it is VERY common for people to fire more than one squib, where multiple bullets will be jammed. I was taught that if anything seems sketchy, call a 24 hour gunsmith and let the person work it out to have them disarm the firearm for them. There is no obligation to assist someone that fired a squib in their firearm.

My gunsmith buddy was working on some PCC's that (I think) the Santa Clara Sheriff's Office was training with, firing some plastic training bullets (not sure if it was Simunition, but something similar, anyway.) 2 of these guns came in because they'd no longer chamber a round. He found the entire bore was stuffed from leade to muzzle with plastic bullets. Said he had a hell of time getting them out.

Okay, most reloaders will experience the dreaded "forgot the powder" once in their life resulting in a squib.

My question for the collective knowledge base here on removal is this:

Why not use a lightly charged case similar to a blank round to "push" the stuck projectile from the barrel? Use some cotton to keep powder in place, which should incinerate upon firing, and blast it out.

Logic seems to indicate that it should be completely safe and do no damage to the barrel.

Curious to know if anyone has tried this, if so was it successful, or if it may actually be dangerous.

Who would do something that stupid are you trying to hurt yourself or possibly the rifle.
