[QUOTE="nmbsniper, post: 1722933, member: 97234"] My first attempt to reloading was with a 50 BMG. I had never loaded any ammo in my life so this was very exciting and scary at the same time. I mean it, loading 210 plus grains of powder for the first time, WOW! Anyways, onetime I drove the 60 minutes to shoot at 1000 yards from home and a bullet got stuck and I had no way of removing it. Done for the day! I wouldn't use a cleaning rod or a wooden dowel if it was my choice. I purchased a solid piece of rod aluminum from Home Depot. Something close to caliber size. Drilled a small concave hole on the end, tapped the bullet out with 1 light hit. Now I travel with a rod for the caliber I'm hunting with. Aluminum is soft enough to not damage the barrel but hard enough to get the job done A friend used a cleaning rod with a flat jag, cleaning rod split and both were no stuck in his very expensive AI 338 LM.
