Stuck pellets in a barrel

Depends on the gun really. How stuck are we talking here? Like need to heat the barrel stuck or use a cleaning rod and lube stuck? I’m more curious as to what happened. I’ve seen you post before so I’m assuming you’re quite knowledgeable on the matter. 

Grab a wooden dowel muzzle loader style depends on gun you may have to apply tension to cocking lever while bumping that wooden rod dowel through the muzzle to unstuck the magazine if applicable. Wiggle that magazine out after that.

Hardware and craft stores sell wooden dowels get the one smaller but closest to the size of the pellet diameter.

What kind of gun?

Good luck.

Another thing to try crank the power up reg and hammer spring be sure gun filled with enough air then Take the shroud and LDC off and go shoot it out many times firing till shot out. 

Wooden dowel muzzle loader style ram them out crack the barrel open a little. Possibly oversized or too heavy pellets. 

brass welding rod from hardware store,knock off the flux & go to it.

May be able to take screw shank and embed it into the end of a dowel, perhaps even use expoxy on it or weld screw shank onto appropriate rod. Then use this tool to screw into the pellet one at a time and pull them out, take your time being careful not to damage barrel.

This might work if you have a 22 springer.

Be careful beating lead out of a barrel. Its easy to start to get things really stuck because the lead can mushroom. I have actually seen a bullet that had to have the center of it drilled to relieve the pressure, then it just pushed out. If the bore is big enough you may be able to wrap the dowel or rod with electrical tape to keep it centered instead of bowing and contacting the sides of the barrel. Thats what we did with the 9' long drill bit. Hope it goes well. 

Pretty sure pellet is much softer than bullet slug..HF got some long drill bit like this

When you have that kind of jam, heat the barrel with a propane torch. Heat the barrel area larger than the jam location, have the barrel tilted at 30 degrees. When the lead is liquid it will pour out and will be at 700+ degrees. Plan accordingly.

I followed what he did and it worked like a charm. What gun are we talking about?

Did not touch the blueing on my gun. It did not necessitate the breach O ring removal due to being jammed at the choke. Your milage may vary. 

The lead will come out if you heat the barrel to 700 degrees. It probably want affect the bluing very much but it will affect the heat treating of the barrel. Mild steel is harder than lead obviously. Most quality barrels are made with an alloy of high carbon steel. If you get the steel above 400 degrees the hardness of the metal comes out. How much hardness comes out is depending on alloy continent and time.

if it were me I would use the small long drill bit with several guides and drill a hole through all the pellets by hand. Put small vise grips on drill bit and carefully drill through pellets.This will take the pressure of the side of the pellets and let crush inward. Then use wood dowel. Last resort would be the brass rod. Be careful and good luck! MM

 

I have 4 Diana’s all of them shoot great out of the box. I personally have not had a pellet stick in a barrel so I never opened them up. In the future I would like to try a Macari spring kit . 

I would put the gun in a gun vise and cock the gun. There is a bear trap safety on the side cockers. I don’t know on the 460. If there is not on yours you could tie off the cocking arm and hand drill from the muzzle end. This is the way you want to push the pellets out also. You can tape up breach area and put thin card board around barrel in breach area to catch debris and keep them out of your gun. Just take everything slow and easy. Patience is a virtue. 

If you use electrical tape on bit make sure you put it on the direction the drill bit is turning or it will come off. Cover entire cutting area of bit with tape tightly wound except rough length of pellet stack on the cutting end of bit.Then use built up areas width of tape or o rings with silicone on them to take up slack between drill and barrel to center drill bit. If you could find a piece of plastic tubing slightly smaller than the diameter of barrel I.D. and push it down to pellets the barrel would be better protected and bit better centered for the operation. 

Hope this helps. MM

Brass or Aluminum rod stock from muzzle. Really, dowel broke? Weird,
