If you can't shake it out by slapping on it upside down then a patch or ball puller miight grab a hold of it.another idea but I would never tell someone to do it is unscrew the nipple,work a few grains of powder down.use the rod to seat the jag then put a cap on and fire it out.since it is the cleaning jag I assume there is no load in it so a few grains down the fire channel wouldn't be dangerous
