Yes, when ever you pull the plug.. make sure you apply more breech plug grease to the plug before you replace it. Also when you are shooting, it does no harm to ocassionally take your breech plug wrench and give the plug a twist. I am not talking about taking it out at this point, just twisting it back and fourth. This will make sure that the breech plug is not seizing up in the breech of the rifle.

In my Black Diamond XR and my Wolverine, I have to do this about every 10 shots. Just give it a twist and make sure it will move back and fourth. It will save you a lot of headaches later. Also if your range is a long distance from your home or your going to take some time before you can get to the rifle to clean it remove it and put it in a plastic baggie. Pull the breech plug out of the rifle and store it and the other dirty parts if you like in the baggie. Then the breech plug has no chance to cool down in the breech of the rifle and sieze up.
