burn it
I got one stuck, it had a kink in it when I pulled it in, you have to be careful to keep it straight.... And make sure its the right size, I buy different colors for diff bores...
I burnt it out, after trying to pull it through, Ive heard of others, wrapping a needle nose around it and getting it cole to the barrel and leveraging it out... Dont try to push it out with a rod, that never works... Whenever I get something stuck in a barrel I remove the brl and then remove the blockage... I got a boresight stuck once, what a pain in the ass... I ended up getting a wood dowel and letting oil sit in the barrel over night and then banging it out, the dowel broke and then I had to use a rod to get that out..

A fabric bore snake?
You and a buddy get together and pull the shit out of it. One on the gun, one on the snake. If you don't have any friends
hook the snake to a vise or other solid object and yank on the gun

Have you pulled a .45 cal. snake through a .22 bore? That will not work.
I have one for a 223/22. and it's a little tough getting it pulled through. Give it a good tug.

Add oil or bore cleaner something to get it wet then it will come out easier.

Burn it out, and if you have any more, tie a piece of heavy string or line about 12" onto the end.
I use 100# dacron line, that way if you get one stuck, you've got something to pull it out with.

Every few months this happens.
I am too good for something stupid like this to happen to me––at least, I was until it happened to me.
I don't use them anymore, and you shouldn't, either.
I finally just pulled like crazy and it came out.
