You have 3 options
1) buy if you don't already have one a bullet puller (it is a thing you screw on the end of the ram rod and has a sharp drywall type of screw on the other) This will not work well if you are using anything other then pure lead bullets.
2) go out and buy an EZ unloader this uses a co2 cartridge to "blow" the bullet and ball out they run about $30.00 and nice to have.
3) this is a little more dangerous but if done right will work. unscrew the nipple, dry the flash whole well with a cleaning patch, place about a nice pinch of dry powder down the flash whole, screw the nipple back on (make sure there isn't any powder on the treads) cap it and fire it. this should give a very hot spark and enough persure to set off the bad charge.
