Squib round/Stuck 5.56 bullet
I don't know if anyone here has had to try to get a rifle bullet un-stuck, but it is a world class pain in the ass.
I made the foolish mistake of firing a sketchy round (instead of just pulling it down) which got a 60 gr (I think) bullet stuck about a half inch into my 10.5 SBR barrel. This turned into a complete goat rope. You can't just tap tap taparooo a bullet out of a rifle barrel.
I ended up having to completely tear the upper apart down to the barrel. Busted a few punches getting the tight taper pins to finally break loose. Still couldn't get the bullet to budge with the barrel stripped.
Ended up having to dismantle the bullet by drilling it out, and finally drilling completely through. After getting rods stuck in the jacket material, I eventually thought to flare the end of a slave rod wide enough to get the bearing portion of the jacket pushed out.
