Good idea. The powder that was suppose to go into that round could have bridged. Then it could have doubled up with the charge for the next round.

Drill a hole in said bullet. Thread in wood screw. clamp onto screw head. Pull. Won't come. Stick a nylon ratchet strap through the cylinder window, put the screw head in a vice, hook the ratchet to something stationary and use the ratchet.
PS, you could stick some cheap plastic tubing or even brass tubing around the outside of all put the last 1/4" of drill to keep bit centered and protect bore. Once again both plastic and brass tubing are available at Ace hardware
Same basic method has worked for muzzle loaders for several hundred years
A stuck bullet. LOL thats nothing. There is a reason I own a 5 ton come along and several winches and a selection of snatch blocks plus a porta power and a selection of rams
Nothing is actually stuck. It is simply a question of how stubborn something is

If it were my problem .
I would open the cylinger and pad with shop rag , use plenty Kroil in barrel and use a brass or aluminum metal rod of near bore diameter to drive the bullet back and out .
I used a section of old aluminum shotgun cleaning rod for this , tapped gently and the bullet came right out .
Be careful trying to drive from the cylinder end ... you want to drive
things straight not on an angle and you do not want to use a wood rod or chop stick ...wood Breaks ! getting out stuck wooden dowel rods is harder than removing stuck bullets .

Any good hardware store has small diameter brass and aluminum rods.
You could cut several cylinder length pieces, stick them down the barrel from frame end, then once you had a piece that is sticking out into the window, put a small wooden block against recoil shield and use double wedges to force a bullet near the muzzle the rest of the way out. Wood wedges would work, but I have several small brass ones
I would always try to move the bullet the shortest route.
