but I'll never go back to the half-baked methods that always seemed to fail on me. (Such as shattering 2 (quality) oak dowel sections in the bore of a Mosin Nagant.... that was a fun one to get out. )

It only took 3 of us to get the slug and dowel pieces out........and the slug did turn out quite nice.
The drill rod method he mentions works much, much better than dowels for rifles.
For pistols I usually just push it trough with a short, pistol cleaning rod, and if needed, a couple light taps with a dead-blow hammer.
A good padded vice (or extra person) is a big help while slugging.
