Bradaet Report post Posted January 24, 2014 I have a Weatherby mark V with a round stuck in the barrel. I figured I would fire the round the knock it out with a cleaning rod but the round miss fired. Is there any safe way for me to get it out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couzer Report post Posted January 24, 2014 Holy smokes! Good question, I'm curious on this as well. How far from the chamber or end of the barrel is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biglakejake Report post Posted January 24, 2014 wooden dowels usually work just fine-hammer/mallet from the breech toward the muzzle. oak dowel better than softwood. if it won't move with a wood dowel because of rusty bore(doubtful in this case) you can buy a brass rod in the barstock section of lowes or depot. just hammer it out toward the muzzle. lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biglakejake Report post Posted January 24, 2014 is the casing involved somehow or just the projectile? lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psebowhunter Report post Posted January 24, 2014 1- Are you able to eject the case ? if so attack the bullet from the muzzle end and force it back the way it came 2- round is still intact with a punched primer and stuck in the breech.......... Holy s$@^#, cant help you !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biglakejake Report post Posted January 24, 2014 if the projectile is lodged in the bore NEVER push backward toward the breech. you will be needing a new rifle if you do! lee gunsmith, rifle builder, handloader, owner of many fine rifles, been there, done that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bradaet Report post Posted January 24, 2014 the bullet is stuck in the barrel. Obviously the bolt will not pull out the bullet. Primer is punched. I was going thru some reloads making sure the cycled and one didn't. So I really don't see a safe way to remove the bullet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted January 24, 2014 Will the bolt open or is it stuck closed with the round? If you can get it open you might be able to soak the primer in something to help make sure it goes inert before you start tapping the bullet out. Is there a "safe" way, I don't know for sure but that is where I would start if the bolt will open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shedhunteraz Report post Posted January 25, 2014 Have had same happen in my 7mag. The wooden dowl or cleaning rod fixed my problem. Make sure you have something soft to catch it with an unspent load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bradaet Report post Posted January 29, 2014 Honestly a little but it only took a couple of light taps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gauchoand Report post Posted February 2, 2014 I don't know if this would have helped but I've had problems with brass sticking in a 7mm mag (and I mean STUCK). My go to is a chest freezer. Just drop the entire gun in for about 20minutes take it and cycle the bolt. 90% of the time this will pull it right out other 10% it needs a tap with the cleaning rod. I actually think this was a tip I picked up here. It has to do with the differences in the brass and steel brass contracts more in the cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
