Omega flash hole size
OK. I'm a rookie at Black Powder and have a new T/C Omega 50 in stainless. Shot/sighted it in firing about 15 rounds through it (3 - 50 Pellets of Triple 7, 250 Grain Hornady XTP's and Shockwaves in May of this year. I swabbed after every 3 shots but upon arriving home never did a complete cleaning (breech plug...etc. yea I know my bad). An unfortunate accident and shoulder surgery in late July kept me from shooting or even thinking about the gun again....untill today. I disassembled the breech plug only to find the flash hole COMPLETELY caked in gunk. Repeated cleaning/brushing/picking/needling has revealed only a tiny hole where the 209 primer fires into the powder charge.How large is the actual flash hole on a ML?? I can only fit a sewing needle through the hole now, is that about the size of a "normal" hole?Should I just get a new Breech Plug? Any Ideas??
