You didnt say if the bolt pulled the rim off or what. A bit more info would be handy. Is the bolt locked up in the chamber, or did you get the bolt back leaving the case in the chamber.

Most stuck case removers dont work on live rounds, they are used when the back of the case is pulled off.

I did make a suck case remover for the M1A that is used on the muzzle end that you push the case out instead of pulling like normal STRs. I suppose you can make one for an AR.

Trying to push a loaded round out of the chamber by hammering on a cleaning rod isnt the safetest method I ever heard.

A real good ideal would be to take it to a gun smith and let him get it out.
