I can't believe this: bullet stuck in barrel

Somehow no powder was dropped into a case. I know that ultimately it is my fault for expecting rather than inspecting, but I either missed the powder dropping step, or the Lee auto disk missed a charge.
Anyway, what is the best way to remove the bullet? I thought about getting a dowel rod and pushing it in the direction of travel as not to reverse the bullet against the rifling. This sound good?

When you realized your gun was no longer functional, did you do the "Hollywood" drill and throw it downrange at the target?


Sorry to hear about the malfunction, but glad to know it's no worse than one stuck in the barrel.
