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?

Either a wooden of brass rod and a couple hammer blows will dislodge it. If it is a cast bullet, it will come out easy. If it is a jacketed, you may have to smack it pretty good.

Been there.
