Hi Spanky, have you tried the other wormy thing with a "drill" end on it. That one is designed for drilling in to the ball so you can pull it out. It may even be called a ball puller. Good luck with it Andy EDIT Yup, them's the thing  Ron and Gary sell them I'd imagine 2nd EDIT Have you tried to get Geoff to suck it out while heating the barrel? If you do, make sure you video it as it would be worth money internationally |

And don't forget to douse the powder before you start....!!!!!

Have you considered letting it off with the ball only half way down that might shift it.

im not heating the barrel as its still got powder in it Perhaps heating the outside of the barrel with boiling water might be sufficient to shift it with out applying so much heat at the breech that it cooks off? |

Talking of crazy......Have you tried lots of oil to loosen it,or do you reckon it's mis-shapen to buggery?

Have you considered letting it off with the ball only half way down that might shift it. We need to have a serious b****y chat about gun safety. DO NOT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TRY AND BLOW IT OUT!!!!!! If you can't get it out let me have the barrel I have some mega long drills and may be able to drill through the ball. |

I think Dingo is experienced enough to know what he is doing, yes even him.
