I have a live round stuck in my rem700. I've tried pushing it through backwards but I have broken a range rod and my favorite boretech cleaning rod. Brownells has the perfect tool for what I need but it's unobtainable right now. No back order etc... Like everything else everyone is waiting for. Does anyone have one I can buy? Caliber is 300WM. Located in Northeast Florida, I'll pay shipping etc...

Throw it and get an m70 instead.
No but seriously, have you not researched for gunsmiths around your area?

Lowes has long wooden dowels. Get one about 1/3 inch and get to hammering.
I dunno, those wooden dowels are about as strong as a pencil. Maybe your "stunt cock" is a little more sturdy.....
Get a awooden dowel from HD or Lowe's. With the bolt removed from the rifle, spray some silicone into the bore from both ends to loosen things up. let it soak in. Then use a compressor for some hi pressure air into the muzzle, which will force the silicone around the sides of the bullet. After that you should be able to use the wooden dowel to tap her free.
I would have thought the pointy end of the projectile would split the dowel and jam wood into the bore even tighter. But I guess if two people had success, then it works?
1/4” brass round stock might be worth acquiring.
HD or Lowes should have brass round stock.
Worst case, MetalsDepot.com
Do you have a muzzle break?..........make up a jig with a grease zerk, attach in place of your muzzle break, pump it full of grease.........
There is NO guarantee that the Brownells tool will remove it.
Did not know this existed, Kinda cool. Theres even a video.

www.brownells.com Is the bolt handle in the upright/unlocked position now? Or still partially closed?
I saw a guy put Kroil oil from the bolt, let it soak and then down the barrel with some oil. Then screwed on a piece of metal in place of the brake and used a grease gun. Popped that round right out!
I’d probably get a helper, put the bolt back in and engage the case head with the extractor, grap a rubber mallet, then get a wooden dowel from hardware or use a aluminum cleaning rod, and have some one tap the bolt handle with mallet while I smack the cleaning rod.

Find a 1/4 metal rod, I use steel because it’s what I have handy, the brass about will work, and wrap it in tape if you’re worried. Make sure the bolt is removed and then stick the rod down the barrel and beat the shit out of it until it pops out.
I sure as fuck wouldn’t have the bolt in the action and closed trying to beat it out with a rod in the bore.

Remove bolt. pour some gun lube down the barrel. Tap out with dowel from HD or Lowes.
Definitely not a closed bolt, that’s not even possible. Extractor engaged and if you you’re worried remove the firing pin.
Also, you don’t need grease you can use water and a tight fitting jag or wad. Fill it with water and use a short tight fitting rod with a jag and patch. Soak patch with oil. Smack with hammer creating a hydro ram. Water doesn’t compress.

as was stated earlier,
spray some Kroil, not fucking gun lube, Kroil. It will penetrate rusty shit, it'll definately penetrate this.
take a rubber tipped air nozzle for your compressor, surely you have one of those?
keep your head out of the way......................then press the rubber tip onto your muzzle, shoot some air in. It'll speed up the whole Kroil penetration, relying on gravity thing.
then take a wooden dowel and knock it out.
none of this is hard since your bolt is already out.

For those still following on this thread. I put it in my deep freezer all day. Used my brass rod and the round came right out. Note to self, be strict on using virgin brass or only brass fired in this chamber. I already knew this but I lost discipline one time and it bit me in the tail.
On a side note for all you guys using kroil place a couple of drops of it beside a couple of drops of atf, on metal or rusty metal. Come back in twelve hours and see which one has expanded more.
Wood dowels not a great idea at all. Same with slugging a bore. You splinter that wood and drive it in between the bore and what's in the bore, and now you have a much bigger problem. Solid or heavy wall brass or aluminum round bar or tube available from many metals suppliers - that's your ticket.
I’ve broken those wooden dowels on a squib. They are shit. You need a brass rod at best. If you broke two cleaning rods then a wooden dowel doesn’t stand a chance.
Get a piece of .25 stainless steel rod about 30 inches long and then take some electrical tape and wrap the outside so you don't damage the rifling in your gun and a small hammer should do the trick, I'm sure you can get the rod off of the internet. You need to put some cotton balls or something soft to catch that round so that it doesn't go off when it comes out
If you put the barrel in the microwave for a minute or two it should heat up and expand enough for the cartridge to fall out!!!! Disclaimer: I am not a professional or a gunsmith but I did just save a bunch of money by switching my my car insurance to Gieco
we keep a wooden dowel cheap at the same hardware store and an Anodized Aluminum $9.18 @ lows a hardware store , as well as a shock hammer 11.99 on amazon for a little 1lb er . It's come in handy having it mostly for others with stuck rounds Id also suggest a small block of wood for stuck bolts . I pull my bolt remove any mag that's in use and stick the rod in the barrel and within a few taps it usually comes out I would not suggest hitting the primed end . Best of luck to you getting your stuck round out it happens but it is a pain only if you don't have the items to fix it with you while at the range and have to cut your trip short .

I had same issue, same gun, same caliber. Learned lesson about buying reloads. Range rod banging pushed bullet into case. So, filled barrel with oil, left over a weekend. Removed muzzle break, my gunsmith threaded on a pneumatic grease gun and Walah! Pushed that non-full length cased sized little bugger right out. We did the same with a M82a1 Barrett with a live .50Cal round in the chamber. Worked very well. Safe too
