Funny this pops up on my feed...... I just picked up a pair of fittings a buddy made for me just for this purpose. One is for the 1/2" threaded barrels and the other is for 5/8 threads. Hope I don't have to use them much, but I watched that video a while back and thought they could sure be useful. If anyone else would like some, I could check and see if he would make a run of them. He's former Air Force machinist/welder that retired from service and has opened his own welding/machine shop.

That is if your barrel has threads.
You can tell he really enjoyed doing that and had fun. His laugh at the point the oil blew out was very telling of his enjoyment but also his passion for reloading and helping people. Helping-"he was that guy".

I think that a APG 90 Weight oil as used in differentials in cars, might have been a better choice instead of 5 w 30.

When I was younger and out in the field I had one get stuck in my 264WM. Did not want to quit hunting so I found a chunck of Barbed wire. I removed the barbs, then used it as a ram rod which shoved the bullet into the case then shook the powder out and was able to jar the case loose. Crude but it did work.

You could use one of these tools and brake fluid instead of a grease gun.

My opinion is, "what a mess". I'd just use the largest rod that fits inside the neck of the round. It should be long enough to reach the primer and about 2 or more inches longer than the barrel length. Then hammer it out. Can't imagine a live round being jammed very tightly in a chamber unless you used a hammer to close the bolt.

Incompressible is incompressible. Even water will work.
They rate gear lubes for viscosity differently from engine oils, those two aren't as far apart in actual viscosity as you might think.

A technique for removing a stuck round from an M-16 (AR-15) is to hold the rifle vertical with the butt facing the ground and the muzzle up, while simultaneously pulling down on the charge handle, slam the butt of the rifle firmly (not excessively) onto something hard like a floor, tree stump, etc. 99% of the time, the stuck round will come out. I've never tried this technique with a bolt gun, but I have impressed many shooters when I demonstrated this on their jammed AR-15s and AR-10s.
