I believe the record during the Civil War was something like 14 bullets in a barrel. Though the solder loading it was obviously in the middle of a nasty fight.

They did find one rifle with 23 stuffed in the barrel(of course unfired).

Over the years I'v had a few of these show up. A few years back there was a trend to use down loaded lead rolled in an abrasive compound to fire lap.  But, some didn't make it out and the others just stacked.  If there is no bulge in the barrel (usually not with the down loaded stuff) I would just drill the lead out using a brass sleeve to protect the bore.
