If you can at least break open the barrels to unlock the bolt, get a dowel rod and go in from the muzzle end and tap the shell out.

I had the same problem on my 1903 DH. Depending on the way the rib and wall is radiused vs a 90 degree angle, it will cause the gun to be hard to close and hard to open if you have shallow rim cuts. Various manufacturers have slightly different radius's. These were new shells with brass bases. Some manufacturers shells worked, others didn't. Solved it by having the chamber rim cuts deepened. Also the extractor was very tight going into it's recess adding to the problem. A little emery paper fixed that.
