How do I remove 22lr bullet that's stuck to the bolt from the rifle?
I have recently loaded a bullet --which didn't fire twice when I pulled the trigger of a bolt action western field m820a 22lr rifle. I have pulled the bolt all the way back but the bullet is stuck on the bolt even with the bolt all the way as far back as it goes.
What is a safe way of getting the bullet out?

22 Long Rifle bolt actions usually hold the bullet to the bolt with a spring. See the red arrow below.
That spring is pushing against the cartridge to hold it in place. If you pull on the spring out away from the action it should come loose. Be careful not to bend the spring too much because then it won't be able to pull the cartridge case out of the chamber.
The other option would be to just reach into the action with your fingers and wiggle the cartridge loose.
