Folks, I messed up. Was shooting my Euroarms 53 Enfield yesterday. Was trying to work up a accurate load and was experementing with different lubes on my Minnie Bullets. So I had been shooting some with minimal lube and was getting good accuracy out of them. However the fowling with 2f was BAD. Should have known better but I just could not resist that last shot. So now I have a Minnie stuck about 20 inches into the bore. Of course I tried to seat it with the range rod But I think I only managed to deform the bullet and make things worse. So I killed the charge with wd40 and filled the bore with oil to hopefully seep past the bullet and make it's removial easier. I could not find any Zerk fittings or Schrader valves that would fit the nipple hole to use air pressure or grease to push it out. Is there any other option beside trying to put a screw in the bullet and pull it out? I can't think of one but this site is full of information. Thanks
