Yankee, Too bad you flooded the barrel with Ballistol--you probably got it into the powder and now it probably won't ignite. If you hadn't done that, the easiest method would have been Steve's--to drive the bullet onto the powder and then shoot it out.
Now you either must use compressed CO2 or, more likely, take it to a gunsmith to pull the breechplug (assuming it has one) and drive the bullet out. Don't worry--this will not ruin the musket. Also it will then be easier for him to inspect and clean it up for you.
I sadi "assuming it has one" because some guns have a "patent breech" with no breechplug. Not sure about a Euroarms. But I believe a competent gunsmith could cope with that also.
