[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 2753298, member: 385"] Always check that bore under strong light before cranking more bullets through it. Many years ago I stuck a jacketed round in a semi-auto barrel. All I had to clear it with me was a section of small diameter steel rod. I carefully centered the rod in the exposed lead center and rapped away with a small hammer. Plunk! Out fell a chunk of lead but it was sans copper jacket. Apply strong light inspection. Crud! Bore now occupied by the jacket only. Had to take it home and pound a full diameter lead bullet through it to get the jacket out. A little oil went down the bore before the pounding the second time, which was a good idea. Moral is to ALWAYS check to be sure the whole stuck bullet is removed. Note: I carry a chunk of brass rod to tap others stuck bullets out these days. Its been many 10's of 1,000's rounds since I've needed it for one of my own. [/QUOTE]
