How do I get a squib round out of the barrel???

Majer,

I'll try some lube when I do it.  I have gun Butter and Rem Oil.

Jaybeth,

I clean every time I done at the range and this was the 3rd shot of the day.

  My gunsmith told me the story of someone bringing in a revolver that had SIX bullets stuck in the barrel.  Seems the poor fellow fired the whole cylinder before he realized what was happening.  The gunsmith just handed the revolver back to him.

  I know this doesn't help, but maybe you feel a bit better.

My buddy was shooting an old military rife and when he went to eject the shell, the bottom part of the case came off. He tried everything and eventially took it to a gunsmith who has been in the trade for 30+ yrs and he could not get it out. He eventially had to replace the barrel. I guess he tried every possible trick in the book and finally gave up on it. Good luck

Yeah, as others have mentioned...sometimes you can knock it straight back with a tool. Hope it works for ya.

Well, now, I would Imagine that the problem stems from that gorgeous hair that Squibby has, so I would recommend a really good mousse, top of the line of course, that should help ease her out of that barrel. Unless of course her hair got caught on something. In that case, . . . .

Oh, wait, you said squib round! That's different. Never mind, then.

Of course if it WAS the delicious Squib I would probably use something else to 'push' her with.

(did I actually say that out loud! )

So much for that...I was thinking maybe you had been there for a couple of hours. That's just plain no good. Could you tell if it was a low charge? If not maybe the bullet is oversized? Stranger things have happened.
The drill mentioned earlier comes to mind. Yes, it's a gunsmith job, unless you can detach the barrel. Then you could drill from the flat end of the bullet and maybe reduce it enough to force it back out.

You need to drive that projectile 4.25" back or 1.25" forward, you don't have good access from the forcing cone. Backwards is the way. I've done this many times, as a range officer, I carry along with the normal, extra ear protection and shooting glasses, a 1/4" copper rod and a 8oz hammer, to drive squibs out, successful 100% so far, when extra force is needed, we put the rod in the muzzle and bang the rod against the wooden table. The copper rod will not hurt the barrel,  as you are shooting a .45 bullet oversizing is not a big issue as you can only get bigger from there one size, .50, a .50 would not go into your cylinder. Don't be afraid to smack the rod hard and often, it will come out, I know you've been around but for lawyers sake, please remove the cylinder or have it open. If you cannot find a rod of proper diameter, you can use an empty cartridge case that will easily fit through the bore as a slave on the end of the rod to fill up the space and have the most surface area, rim against the bullet of course. Using too small a rod, you can poke a hole, through the bullet. The flat surface of a cartridge rim will help.. Welcome to gunsmithying.

I had a reload do that in my 4inch 357mag,tapped it backwards with a peice of cleaning rod,no damage to gun or rod. no need to get fancy, if it fit UP that far it will fit back just fine.

Stick the barrel up Hillary's a$$ and let the smoke blow the bullet out!!!

Just a suggestion.  Mac.
