The wooden dowel absorbs too much of the force you're applying. The usual tool for this is a "range rod". The metal is softer than your barrel so it won't hurt the barrel.

And probably strike against a sturdy surface, like the floor. It surprises me even when using my kinetic pullet puller how there is a difference between hitting the wooden workbench or the concreate floor.
And a brass rod or range rod is optimal, but I have had good results with a cut down section of one of these:

One was broken from getting run over and before I threw it away it occurred to me that it might make a good squib rod. Some people also put an empty casing over the end you are hitting with the hammer. And be sure you are driving it back out the way it came, I am wondering a little bit if there might be an issue with the bullet being out of spec.
Do you have access to a large vice? It surprises me how much force can be generated pushing something rather than driving it.
Proper size brass rod. 2# steel hammer. Chamber end of barell on hard surface. Hit it HARD.
It will come out.
Thanks everyone for all the great feedback.
It might just b me & the way my wonky brain is reading these posts, but it sounds like some of you are saying DONT try to push it BACK out the chamber end. And then some post read to me like theyre suggesting doing EXACTLY that!😳
The base of the bullet is just barely into the barrel maybe 3-4mm into the rifled section past the breach/chamber. Although its certainly a much shorter distance for this to have to travel, I was under the impression that I did NOT want to try and back it out through the chamber end of the barrel. Is that correct? Do I need to Be careful to push this Stuck SOB ALL the way out thru the muzzle end to avoid damaging anything??
Im concerned that it could damage the feed ramp bracing that end on any surface wood or other and trying to back it out the chamber. But also damn, . Its got s LOOOONG way to travel before it can come out the muzzle end.
