Sometimes you have to go with hat in hand

and seek a professional. You could go to a guy with a lathe and have him drill out the center of the bullets to weaken their grip on the bore. That is what I did with that "single" 6.5 bullet. The lathe will keep things straight and centered so the bore will not be damaged.

Given the inexpensive nature of the gun I bet a new barrel could be found used for a very low expense, maybe less than $50. Might even find a .44 or .45 barrel and then rechamber to that caliber.

There is always hope! lol
