[QUOTE="bboswell, post: 1223473, member: 67771"] Now it all makes more sense. I gave up after every method mentioned here and elsewhere failed. I was determined to get it out even at the expense of the barrel because I wanted to prove that the chamber was out of spec and possibly get TC to cover it. I used an 18" long by .25" drill and started drilling the dowel from the muzzle. This went quick and easy for a ways and then got more difficult when I hit the other bullet that was stuck about 6" from the chamber.... Turns out that the 1st shot fired lodged in the barrel and then the 2nd round lodged the bullet in the throat (which I got pulled early on) I now know that the chamber is out of spec because the action will close on the no-go gauge but I will have to get some casting material to see if the rifle is throated short. I also know that other bullets from the same box of ammo can be chambered without sticking but they do all contact the lands. I have no clue why shot #1 stuck in the barrel but it bulged the barrel when it stuck. [/QUOTE]
