Stubborn rascals to remove to say the least.

What was your solution?

How does this happen?

Dowel rod not working?  Wondering I lubricant would help? Maybe an air nozzle?

this is bad news.
if you are willing to trash the barrel, i'd say keep messing with it.
if it's something you want to keep,stop now and call the gunsmith.

what kinda gun?

Scrap barrel. A bullet fired into  another bullet will bluge the barrel.   Jacket bullets with lead cores- heat barrel in oven till lead runs out barrel.  Then drive empty jackets out using brass or steel  rod.

I would assume that barrel is done and buy a new one.

Melitng point of lead is 621 degrees or so.  Most oven's wont go that high.  Would using a propane torch on the barrel mess up the metallurgy?

Half agree... rest of story would help us give advice about whether barrel is worth saving.  Not sure I believe there are two bullets in a barrel without major damage.

OP, solutions are easy to attain when your problem has been thoroughly explained.

More information would be better.

personally, I would toss the barrel.

I would imagine the easiest way to remove it yourself would be to put the barrel in a vice and use a wooden dowel that moves freely within the barrel to force the bullet out of the barrel with a mallet.

Be prepared to toss the barrel if you've lodged 2.  It's probably bulged.





Try filling it with oil to within a couple inches of the barrel.  Take a dowel as close to barrel dia. and a tightly fitted patch and pound away.


 



What caliber?  I've got a rifle with a ringed bbl but it's not exactly a bruiser (25-20).  I still shoot it.

A friend did this on a Nagant, we took a 1/4th inch brazing rod 3 ft. long

and just used gravity and a little "fling" with the muzzle pointed downward.

I was turely surprised how easy it was to drive them out. IIRC it only took

10 -12 impacts. My 2 cent worth but for us it work well.

Brass dowel, and shop press "should"  walk them right out

Any idea how your friend did that? Were they reloads? Maybe easy to remove if using 308 bullets in a barrel made for who knows what. Lots of variation in those.

Factory new, his sons found the projo's where loose and must of

lost some powder out of one. They were hunting deer and in the heat

of the chase they didn't notice the non exit of round 1 and set

off round 2. I got the call that evening, the gun was checked out and

found a cracked bolt; we welded it tight and holds a place of Honor as a

wall hanger now.

Depending on how far the two bullets are down the pipe just send the barrel to Adco to have them cut it and start the paper work on a sbr

If the barrel does not look bulged or damaged, buy a 3 foot brass rod from your local hardware store and a couple taps on the end of the brass rod with a hammer should dislodge them fairly easily. Wrap the end of the brass rod with electrical tape as an extra precaution so you don't scratch the bore.

You gotta remember that barrels are tight enough to leave an imprint of the rifling on the bullets.   The bullets will not fall out after a couple of taps.  

Ive had a couple of squibs from when I first got into reloading.   One on a AR barrel,  one on a Glock.   The glock,  I handled with a brass punch and a vice.   The AR barrel I did with a soft steel cleaning rod and a bearing press.   I left a little Kroil in the barrel overnight as lubricant and to help work the bullets loose.

Took an extraneous amount of effort but got the barrel cleared.

A 48 ounce hammer with a steel rod wouldn't do the job.

Took a relief drill cut in the base end of the first projectile to make the stoppage unstop.

I don't want to try that crap again.

Yes DF.

Low pressure round started the problem.

The first round stopped about 2 inches into the bore of the barrel.

Found out that the 2nd round was not a round at all but a stuck brass jag that was used to remove the first stuck projo.

Those two rascals made for a difficult problem.
