22 projectiles stuck in barrel?

A decent hammer and brass tipped steel rod should work... ?

If not ~ I wouldn't use power tools to drill them out. If it were me I would make a little brass bushing/guide to hold a drill bit centered in the bore and drill them out by hand - lead is nice and soft.... should not be a problem.

If it were not me & 'not me' does not own a lathe to make a sleeve/bushing ... file a .22 cleaning jag into a "D" bit and use an aluminum cleaning rod to drill it out. brass will be harder than the bullets & by filing it you should work harden it just a little bit more.

Would take longer but you won't damage the bore, you won't blow yourself up trying to shoot them out and your hair won't fall out while you are waiting to die from mercury poisoning ;)

GOOD LUCK!
 
I'd shake up a can oh Fluid Film and load the bawrill up.
Then I'd find a cleaning rawd and ah small drill bit.
I'd either sqwarsh the bit into the eye bawl awf the rawd oar
two part epoxy it in.
Then wrap tape round the rawd.
Presto, lawng drill bit.
Fluid Film does werk for cutting flewid also.

Best to wait for the epoxy to dry, me thinks.

May bewger up a rawd, but heck, now yew'll be set up fur drilling
out dem pesky shewt'in bawrills.
 
I've run into this a few times and the easily pound out with an aluminum or brass rod. The ones I fixed didn't have bulges in the barrel. The penetrating oil is a stupid idea because the barrel is plugged with bumped up lead so absolutely nothing will pass by it. Using hilti blanks is a good way to get powder burns in your face and loose an eye. Drilling of any kind is not a good idea either as you will most likely damage the barrel as there's no guarantee on you drilling center the whole way.
 
Find a piece of tubing that fits down in the barrel snug and is the full length of the barrel, plus a little, them weld a drill bit on the end of a steel rod, uses a drill and lots of lube. The tubing acts like a sleeve , so you don’t hurt the rifling, drill bit goes in the middle.
Someone mentioned using a piece of drill rod and forming a drill bit on the tip, I think that would be a way better idea than using a drill bit welded onto the rod like I usually do.
Remember, your not trying to drill down though and out the other side....drill a little.... remove, shake the lead shavings up out , clean, lube, and start over.
You’ll be left with an outside skin of the lead bullet, which should come out very easy...or at least ....easier.
Cheers

So drill from both ends.
Nawt rawkitt science.
Gun is frukk'd anyways, try something.
Fill the front end with grease and find a tight rod.
Beat on the end of the rod.
Hydraulic pressure might do it also.

Penetrant is not a stupid idea. The lubrication properties can only aide the task of driving them out.

Spray some WD-40 from both ends and use solid cleaning rod to push those out. Chose from wihich side to push visely. Don't demage crown or chamber.
Or once they are lubricated well, you can use Hilti blanks to shoot them out.

I would not recommend this at all. You could very well burst the barrel and get seriously hurt.

Brass rods cut as short as possible for rigidity. They are cheap, buy a couple and cut them progressively longer depending on the barrel length and where the stuck bullets are in the barrel.

Where does one buy brass rods that long?

I would not use a brass rod that long - a stainless brass tipped rod - or something similarly tough. also at less than .20 diameter, no matter what type of material you buy for the rod, it is going to bind in the barrel you need to either make/buy/use some bushings or some tubing (from any hobby shop) to protect the bore.
 
Muzzle loader guys have bullet pullers that screw into the ramrod. Make one that fits your cleaning rod. Cut the head off a wood screw and thread the shank to fit your cleaning rod. Put some lube in the barrel and screw your puller into the bullet. Then heat the barrel to expand it. Tie a strong cord to the handle of your cleaning rod and the other end to something secure. Pull on the gun and the bullet should come out (like a tooth).
