The method is not to put it in a chuck as you would think but drop it arse first down the muzzle, keep it a mm smaller than the rifles caliber, it has worked for bigger diameters like 7.62, not sure it would have enough weight for a triple two. Tip of the day

I've done that as well. I used to carry a piece of brass rod around about 100mm long for a ss rifle that the cases would stick in the chamber drop it down the barrel an out the case would pop out. Got old pretty fast tho....
