I would pour down a good thin oil to soak the patch, to help lubricate the barrel where the cloth patch is now stuck, rather than water. I hope the jag has a steel screw in the brass fitting, and not one of brass. With the steeel screw, you have a chance of getting the ramrod and jag out of the gun with the patch. You don't say what if any handle you have on the end of the ramrod. If none, try wrapping wet leather lacing around the ramrod three times, and then make a loop for your hands to pull. The wrap has to go around at least 3 times to obtain the needed friction to hold. Then only the breaking of the lacing will keep you from pulling the rod out. It will move slowly at first, and don't feel at all reluctant in pouring more oil down once it does move. Once it begins to move, pull steadily until it comes out. Next time you run a patch down the barrel move it back and forth before leaving it in there for any length of time. This will " set " the cloth fibers in the groooves of your jag, and in the direction needed to allow the patch to be pulled out. IN fact, if your patch is a little thick for the bore, reverse the direction of the ramrod several times as you run the patch down the barrel. That not only loosens up the crud, but also removes some of it so it does not make pulling the patch out the entire length of the barrel more difficult when you get to the bottom. Only when the barrel is clean, and polished, can you take the chance on running a patch down in one full stroke.
