Default RE: stuck projectile

As cayugad says, "be sure and push that maxi back down onto the charge or you could have a barrel obstruction there." Never try to shoot a stuck bullet out if it is not fully down on the powder charge in the breech! If you do, you are taking a chance on ringing the barrel, or even bursting it at the point wwhere the bullet is stuck.

If you are not sure the bullet is fully seated, take the rifle to a competent gunsmith and have him remove the breech plug, then push the bullet out with a heavy steel rod!
