    If it was me, I'd have put the exact dia rod in the bore, plenty of grease and oil in both ends and slowly pushed the slug out using a hydraulic ram. It wouldn't take a lot of pressure, certainly not in hydraulic pressure terms. Once it started it would follow its pre-determined rifled course. But that's just me thinking on my feet

    And then never allowed a ball bullet with a clipped point to be fired from it again.
