For the 1911, I would apply either Kroil or PB Blaster, let it sit a day. Then put a 3/8" or 7/16" brass or CRS rod in from the breech end, hold the barrel in my hand and strike the back of the rod with a 2 lb hammer. The the inertia should inch it forward. This avoids putting the muzzle against anyething that might damage the crown. Not puting the rod in the muzzle end is for the same reason.

CRS is stronger than brass, but should not be hard enough to damage the bore. Nonethless, wrap a layer of masking tape around it to be sure.

If the bullet is still stuck, drop by a Woodcraft store. They sell inertial slide hammers in a couple of sizes, and I believe the rod on the smaller one will fit into the breech of a .45. This metal is probably harder than CRS, so you will definitely want to use the tape on it.
