Default Stuck Projectile

I have a buddy who was given a Traditions 50 cal Caplock made from a kit. It's never been fired ( as far as he knows ) and I know the guy who built it and he claims it was never fired.

Two years ago, someone tried to load it and stuck an unknown projectile halfway down the barrel. I have to assume there's some kind of powder down below.

It's coming over tomorrow and I'm going try to get it out.

Aside from trying to twist in the bullet puller, any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

A CO2 bullet puller would be the best bet, but with a ball puller you might get it.

Running an oil patch down the bore before trying to pull it will ease things a little.
