It would take a good size hydraulic press and I am not sure then if you could get them out without bulging the barrel. A person could drill through the center, try melting the lead out and then working the jackets out.

Someone tried driving back the bullet near the muzzle and all it did was swell it into the bore.

Easiest solution is a new barrel. I will order a new barrel and go with that. Then I will have the side milled off the original one just to see how many bullets are in it. They must have been very light loads as the barrel is not bulged at any location.
