tap them out GENTLY with a wood dowel as close to bore diameter as possible

If nothing else works, remove and apply heat to the barrel to soften the lead.
This has happened to me more than once.

Don't use metal to push. +1 on the heating slowly and heat as a last resort. Heat the barrel at an angle and heat from the plug to the closest end. Allow to cool slowly, don't quench the hot metal.

Slugs are NSA .217 and are extra tight fitting in the barrel. Was at a 10ft distance, loaded the gun and took a shot. Thought it misfired so i went to load the next slug and thats when i noticed it was stuck. The second one wouldnt feed and it was stuck halway out the breech/magazine so i couldnt take the mag off eventually got the 2nd one through to take the magazine off.
First time getting a pellet stuck in the prod...

I usually use a cleaning rod, with a brass end, to get them out. If you got one out you should be able to shoot the single one left in the barrel out.

Thanks guys. Looks like il be buying my first cleaning kit.... i dont have any rods that im aware will fit, except maybe a coat hanger and i dont trust the idea.

2 hours worth of effort. 2 broke rod sections and a bent handle...
I did have to heat the barrel a few times to get them to push out. And i guess i was wrong, there was 3 slugs. 1 about an inch from the muzzle and the other 2 dirrectly at the breech.
The funny cone was the last loaded, first out the breach.
Thanks for the help guys. Now to repump it and rezero the SA.
Edit: everything together i stuck it on the DG and took a 4 shot group, it was only off by 1" to the right. Not as bad as i expected after the operation.

Not really nessicary. The prods favorite pellet are metalmags and have not had any issue with takedown. I just figured id try the slugs "on field" to see its end result... well the results were a firm negative. Il stick with the metal mags to feed my prods appetite.
Edit: And for future reference... p/m rod or other gun barrels with the breach oring in the barrel... remember/attempt to take it out if you plan on heating the barrel. LOL. I forgot, but realized after that it was impossible with where one pellet was stuck. Good thing a had a spare...
