Help needed.....

I was shooting my S&W 625 (.45 ACP) today and found a squib in my reloads the hard way.  It moved the bullet into the barrel, but not far enough to clear the cylinder charge hole.  

My revolver is now stuck closed.  I haven't messed with it.  Anybody got any suggestions for getting this bullet out and freeing the cylinder?

Thanks,

Use a wooden dowel or brass drift punch. Put it in the barrel. Knock the bullet back into the cylinder.

.....Put some solvent in the barrel with the barrel pointing up and let it sit overnight.....then as the other post states use a good fitting dowel or "range rod" of metal.....brass prefered but a steel rod with a few layers of tape to help center it in the barrel and avoid it hitting the barrel inbetween the bullet and muzzle.........make sure the part at the muzzle and above it is taped good and use some thick leather pads or wood pads in a firmly mounted vise to hold the barrel and use firm but straight blows with a hammer or heavy object aganist the rod...start gentle and get harder untill the bullet moves and reenters the cly.......clean the barrel and cly well and get back to shooting........good luck and good shooting!!!!
