22 projectiles stuck in barrel?

Pretty sure he was.

Just seems a waste of a life, spending a few minutes to solve (you hope) one problem, and creating a whole whack more work for yourself in so doing.

I have seen a unit that gets used in the lathe, has a taper on the one end to fit the muzzle, and a center drill on the other to be held in place by the center in the tailstock, which had a grease nipple on the side to pump out a rifle bullet if it had been sqib loaded or pulled out from being jammed on the rifling and the case extracted.
Which is OK, if you have the lathe, the ability to make the tool, etc.

But if you had those, you would also have a better than average idea how to deal with this particular problem...

Not sure I would give that much consideration as a solution. The pressure need to be exerted by the tail stock to seat the taper into the muzzle and seal the grease enough to move the bullet would surely distort & damage the bore. The same lopping off of the bore & re-crowning would be required as the threaded nipple into the bore I think.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fVJP7oYAjc Is the link to Rod Hendrickson method of removing projectiles from barrels. I had him remove a live round from a chamber using this method and there was no damage to the bore of the barrel. The brass insert for the muzzle is very thin and uses the grease pressure to enhance the seal.
The rifle grouped very well before the incident and grouping remained the same after .... cost of the procedure was around $150
Rod is in Edmonton.
