So I got me a squib load this morning.
It happens.
However, when I went to pound it out, and boy was it a bitch, whet came out was the tip of the jacket and the lead core.
The jacket itself stayed in the barrel and I cant get it out...
I have tried soaking it in Hoppe's copper solvent, no luck.
Any suggestion, trick of the trade (paging Bert...) or such?9402494025

Soak in KROIL for a few days.
Get a brass rod that is bore diameter and drive it out.

Put on your big boy pants on and just clear it by firing another round.

And pictures of the carnage please.

Got it.

Used another 9mm bullet in front of the rod to push it out, this time a FMJ, so the rod wouldn't sink into it.

Doesn't get a much tighter fit than that, rifling et all...
