Like others have mentioned, you want everything solid. A piece of wood on a concrete floor will suffice. A piece of oak of other hardwood is best but not required. Use a real hammer made out of steel and a brass rod hitting it out towards the chamber. You have probably obturated the bullet bigger on the base that's not entered the barrel yet. You really don't want to hammer it out the direction it was heading I can promise you that. Always push them out the chamber end unless they are past half way through the barrel and fully engraved already, then it's just the shortest distance to have to deal with.
Oh FFS!!! Amazon delivered an EMPTY PKG and the brass rod I ordered is no longer in stock for replacing it!!!🤦.
Pkg had a hole in it & Item was missing. I received an EMPTY plastic sleeve.
So,.. I guess its wait until the weekend to search Lowes or HD
( Ive got a dentist appt today before work!)
For a brass rod, a traditional Ace or True Value may be better - they usually have a K&S display.

revchuck38: ...mo' ammo is mo' betta' unless you're swimming or on fire.
Innit funny how things go when using the right tools!
Hell,.. I Barely had to tap on it this time using an actual hammer. I finally acquired a couple brass rods, I also Bought some magnetic, polymer pads for my vice. I took the barrel out the freezer, clamped the breach in the vice, inserted the brass rod,.. tapped, not whacked,.. TAPPED it 3-4 times & PLINK,
Out it popped. 👍🏻
THANKS EVERYBODY!!!
