Make a brass or aluminum slug that will just fit inside your bore. Slightly round the ends. Drop it in from the chamber end. Fit a long dowel behind it and whack it good with a ballpeen or heavy brass hammer. Don't miss and smack the rifle. It will help if you can mount the barrel in a barrel vise to hold the rifle in place while working on it
