    Drilling out the center of the bullet worked great for me, after I tried the “quick and easy” methods. These just made the problem worse.

    I was firelapping a pitted military bore, was too stingy with the powder, lol.

    Pleased to say I got it out! I went around to a friend who has a MAP blowtorch and a couple of minutes heating the barrel around where the bullet was and it simply pushed out. One moment it was stuck solid, the next it just slid down the last 8 inches of the barrel and out. Bore scope shows no sign where the bullet was so all is good. Bullet still has the paper patch intact. Click image for larger version.  Name: 20200604_182007.jpg  Views: 18  Size: 55.1 KB  ID: 263154

    The unpatched bullet is an as cast Lee .309-200 what the bullet originally looked like.

    Anyway, thank you for all your suggestions and comments on this matter.
