Which tool is used to remove a bullet that has been improperly seated in the barrel?

The bullet puller is specifically designed for safely removing bullets that have been improperly seated in the barrel of a firearm. When a bullet is seated incorrectly, it can create a dangerous situation during loading or firing, potentially causing misfires or other serious issues. The bullet puller operates by applying a mechanical mechanism that securely grips the bullet, allowing the user to extract it from the barrel without damaging the firearm or risking injury.

Using a bullet puller is a crucial aspect of muzzleloading firearm maintenance and safety, as it helps ensure that any seating errors are corrected before attempting to fire the weapon. This tool not only assists in the removal process but also minimizes the risk of further complications that could arise if the improperly seated bullet were left unaddressed.

In contrast, while the ramrod can be used for seating and pushing down projectiles in the barrel, it is not suitable for extracting improperly seated bullets. The priming tool is intended for preparing the firearm for firing by placing a primer in the ignition system, and the CO2 bullet discharger is designed for specific applications related to airguns rather than muzzleloaders.
