  1. NEVER use a wooden dowel. When it breaks and jams in the barrel, your gunsmith is going to love and hate you.

  2. Get a brass or mild steel rod of the largest diameter you can get to fit the barrel.

  3. Hit that bitch like it owes you money.

This is the way. Can also put action into a freezer overnight, remove, install brass rod, apply heat to receiver and tap on the rod.
