I have a brass rod that will fit in a 243/308 barrel just so i just wack the pointy end with the brass rod and a steel hammer (Bunnings if they dont have brass rod brass threaded rod ) dont try hitting the rod with a rubber hammer it will not move but a short sharp smack specialy if just in left the case remove the bolt try with your cleaning rod to touch the back of the pill see just how far in it is if it was just a primmer it will not be far in at all.
wood will just bounce on the pill

just disappointing is all after all the effort. its not far in the bore at all, i took film of it because it was at like 20yards... and i didnt hear it but the gun goes "pffooot"
1st shoot picked the target up and threw it up .5m and backwards 1m....
i just didnt get it threw ear muffs.. thanks for the input appreciate it.

"I had a .243 bullet park itself right at the muzzle, just the red tip sticking out. I pulled the bullet from another round and fired it out with the charged case."
Definitely not a very smart thing to do and extremely poor example for anybody to follow, even if it did really happen as described.
At that point in the barrel the bullet most likely would come out with just the gentlest prod of a cleaning rod.
The events leading to the situation haven't been described but if it was due to a primer only load the bullet would possibly have simply fallen out if the barrel was tipped over.

As it was only just into the lands, he suggested iuse a good steel cleaning rod so that the contact with the pointy end of the proj is made by the 'female" threaded end of the rod. If I was to use a flat ended rod of some kind, and the proj was really stuck, I ran the risk of flattening out the proj inside the barrel. By using the recessed end of a rod, the proj was being cupped and better pressure points created around the proj. It worked

I doubt it's possible to have a bullet so well stuck that it'd get tighter by pushing it through, certainly not a cast bullet. I'll use a cleaning rod on the small calibers, but I wouldn't risk a $70+ rod if I don't have to, a length of 6mm aluminium rod or dowel is a better idea.

Only squib I ever came across was using a mates 12g reloads.....they sort of just went pmmmf!....and the shot just ‘fell’ out the end of the barrel....thought it was hilarious at the time. Just plain dangerous really.
