RE: How often do you clean your breech plug?
Of course I clean it every time I shoot.
Today as normal, I took the breech plug to the kitchen sink (along with outer parts of the rifle). I have HOT water with dish soap in that. I also have a couple of small brushes that I can scrub the plug wth. I soak the plug for a while and then take the brush to it. I scrub ever bit of fowling and breech plug grease off that plug. After that I take Q-tips and wipe the inside of the plug out. A paper towel to wipe the outside off. Then more tape on it, a thin coat of breech plug grease and I replace it in the rifle.
