Just got my DRS .22 600 today only shot two mags but some how there's a pellet stuck half way down the barrel , I tried shooting It out and I tried blowing compressed air through the barrel with no success . Any ideas guys ??

Get a brass rod from ace hardware and gently tap it out. Or get a wooden down that fits down the barrel and tap the pellet out.

I think you got more than two stuck in there. Find a long thin wall brass tube that will fit into the barrel.
Then find a drill bit that will fit into the tube nice and tight without expanding the tube. Check to make sure assembly can still fit in the barrel.
For a .22 I got a 5mm brass tube and it so happens that I have a metric drill bit set. 4mm just happen to fit tightly in there.
Hand thread the tube holding the drill bit into the barrel cutting the lead out. Remove tube/drill assembly often and tip barrel to let out lead. Eventually you will get enough of the lead out that you can just push out the remaining lead out with a wood or brass dowel and not harm anything.
Just be patient. It will make you think twice next time the cocking arm comes back too freely or easily. Next time it does that..
STOP!
and pull out the magazine. Most times if you caught quick enough, you can just push the bolt forward after removing the magazine and fire the pellet that's in the barrel.
The brass tube will prevent the drill bit from touching the walls of the barrel.

You were right there was more than one pellet stuck In the barrel , I found a aluminum cleaning rod that was a perfect fit but It took some effort to shift the blockage , there was some funky looking stuff that came out . All I can think of that the third mag was of the reg and not enough air to push the first pellet through . Just aired the gun up and shot another mag now all seems well .

As an FX owner, I will tell you that for some reason FX guns, specifically for me, the Impact and Maverick were easy to double feed.
You don’t have to fully cock the gun to make it happen.
Push or dig enough blockages out of your barrel and you will become very sensitive to the feeling of fully cycling the action. You also learn that when in doubt cock the gun, remove the mag and fire it.
FX would make some new friends if they would put an anti double feed feature in their guns.
Don’t know why but I never had the problem with my Cricket II or my Pulsar.

I always keep a clean white patch on my bench so in case I think I did a double feed I open the action and insert the patch and it makes it easy to look down the barrel to check.

WOODEN DOWEL & rubber mallet! Tap them out after sliding dowel down barrel. Firmly tap, tap, tap til they start coming out the breech. Don't "Neanderthal" it. Tap with slightly increasing pressure if no movement at first. I helped someone with this, "I've got a pellet jam", there were SIX in there! Dowel still worked! (This is done with magazine removed! Pretty sure you figured that out, but one never knows

Great point. And anyone that took the time to view the "Swaging" video a few months back. Cut it into smaller Pieces. Tont try to pound a 24" Dowel in. Cut it into smaller Pieces. Tap slowly and not on the end of a 2 foot long Dowel. Like Archie Bunker said "Patience is a Virgin". LOL Yeah. I'm old and remember stuff.
