I like all the ideas mentioned. Try a combination of them. Maybe get a piece af steel rod from the hardware an make a slide hammer or will a .22 caliber cleanining rod fit? The freezer has work for me on other applicatins. And tuning an arrow to the bow, can teach you alot about your shooting, and make you a more versatile shooter! Good shootin, and keep us informed on what works for you, Steve

I've had good luck removing inserts by using a chainsaw file that will fit down the inside of the shaft and swinging it so that it acts like an impact driver to knock loose the insert. I've only had a couple that I couldn't get loose using this method.
Sometimes it takes 20 or more whacks to get them out, but it works most of the time.

I bought a small steel rod that will fit down the shaft of my FMJ's and use that to bang out the insert once I've heated it up.
