stuck bullet

Quote:
dahermit, are you saying to tap it all the way back down the 7.5" barrel? That might be my only option other than a gun smith. Not much room to work with on the Vaquero as the cylinder doesn't swing out.
Yes. Once it starts moving, it will go all the way, especially if you use some spray lube behind the bullet.

"...the cylinder doesn't swing out..."? You do know how to take the cylinder out of the frame do you not? Depress the cross pin, pull forward on the base pin, the cylinder slips out of the frame to the left.

Note: a brass rod(as suggested by another poster), is better than a wooden dowel for tapping the bullet back down the barrel, but a wooden dowel of the correct diameter is much easier to find, and more likely to be available.
