I know what you mean on the breech plug, I thought I was going to break the monkey wrench last year but it finally came loose.I tried the permatex in the silver too but was just to messy,and it would get every where and had to use gasoline to clean it off the breech plug when I cleaned it.
I said last year that I wouldn' t try the T7 but here this sucker is trying it again.So far it is not doing too bad I am learning as I go how to swab the barrel between shots.to get the bullets down the barrel.Probably will end up using the pyrodex select,like in the 50 cal before its over.
Have you heard anything more about the Savage in 45 cal yet?
