Hello all
I have a buddy who bought a Winchester 30-30 and it came with some reloads. I told him not to shoot the reloads and that we would take them apart and load them again so we knew what was in there.
Well being the impatient type he went and tried one. Only to find out that it didn't have any/very little powder in the case and now he has a bullet stuck in the bore.
To make matters worse he took a wooden dowel rod and tried to drive the bullet out. The bullet went up into the dowel and then the dowel broke off. He then tried a brass rod but it only drives into and splinters the end of the piece of dowel stuck over the bullet.
So for my question.
How would we get the dowel and bullet out without wrecking the barrel ?
