Now I understand if there isn't excessive moisture I should be ok, but what if I need to pull the bullet and powder. What cleaning method is required after pulling a bullet and powder if it wasn't fired? Do I just try to get it all out and then put new powder and bullet back in?
You do have some options:
1. shoot the load out
2. pull the load with the ram-rod & ball remover
3. blow it out with a CO2 cannister
4. remove the breech plug and push the load out the back

With option 2,3,4 - patching the bore may be the only thing you need to do & reload it in the morning. If it was a saboted bullet do not re-use the sabot if it was a conical save it for plinking but i do not think I would reload it.

3& 4 would be my choices...

Good luck - hope everything works out for you



If you removed everything because of moisture - I would certainly pop a few caps or primers before I reloaded
