Default Breechplug question

On my Genesis the exit hole on the breechplug is smaller than 1/16". Can or should I drill that hole a little larger?

Also I have noticed more than a few breechplugs on here being worked on in one way or another.

Probably not. I would not even consider it unless you are having misfires/hangfires. If you aren't there is no need to even consider such a change.

The size of the hole has been tried in different sizes by the Manufacture for it's best fire, the hole they settled on is the one that worked best.
