Reloading question. 7mm mag round stuck in barrel

[JackRyan]

I didn't resize round enough. Now it is stuck in barrel. Help. How can I remove from Barrel? I tryed a cleaning rod. It is stuck. I'm not sure about firing it? It is started all the way. Could you use a solid rod and bang it back out?

[Guylee]

try a wooden dowel that's close to the same size as the bore. Hit it hard enough and it'll come out.

[cstone]

This sounds dumb, but you have the bolt out right? If so, I'd agree with the wooden dowel rod. They work pretty well in 6" or 12" sections but a solid section will work as well.

Do not use a wooden dowel in any rifle bore. The pointed bullet may split the end of the wood dowel and create a wedge. The same happens if you use a cleaning rod with a open female end.
Go to a decent hardware shop and find a brass or steel rod. Deburr and polish the steel rod. Cut it so you only have a inch outside the muzzle. Rap on it.
Use caution as there has been cases of primers igniting and being blown out and killing people.

This. Wooden dowel = bad juju. Brass is best.

Lube the crap out of the chamber. Spray it in from the muzzle.

[Guylee]

I misunderstood and thought he had the actual bullet stuck in the barrel a la a squib load.

[JackRyan]

Not a squib load. Not fired. Whole live round stuck in barrel. Yes Bolt is open. Out would be best. I'll correct that. thanks for the info.

[Delfuego]

Will the bolt close? If so it could be fired safely. That is it the round itself if considered safe. Couple hour in the freezer could help too.

[JackRyan]

I carefully tapped it out with a metal rod. Thank you for all your help. The bolt would close, but it was tight. I thought I could fire the round. Better safe than sorry. It's not a small caliber. Again thank you.
