Had a stuck ball in a rifle once. Broke 3 rods trying to pull it in every conceivable manner.
Took it home and screwed in an aluminum range rod and put a slide hammer on it. (the kind you use for pulling dents) it popped right out like nothing. it was the sudden shock not the force that did it. Much like a impact wrench works in opposite.
Always carry range rod in truck from then on.
Now... traditionally, the putting powder in behind it or un breaching the barrel would be the way it was done if it could not be pulled with a rod.
