5. Once the powder has been soaked for 1/2 hour and rendered inert, try pulling the pro-
jectile from the bore by using your ramrod (or a range rod) with a bullet puller. Screw
the bullet puller onto your rod, insert from the muzzle end, and when you make contact
with the projectile, turn the rod clockwise, screwing the bullet puller into the projectile.
Once screwed into the projectile, pull the projectile out. If you are using a sabot, make
sure that both the projectile and the sabot are pulled out.
6. If for any reason you are unable to remove the charge in the manner recommended,
soak the barrel again. Squirt oil into the primer pocket and into the ignition channel in
order to render the Pyrodex pellets or powder more inert, (if you were to use water only
- it will just dry out over a period of time), and return the barrel to the service depart-
ment at the address shown below with a letter describing the problem.
