But I read how people are drilling out their breech plugs,
Been there and done that. The original Clean Shot pellets were nearly impossible to light so i drilled out a breech plug. Clean Shot pellets still did not light so iloaded about five grains of granular before the pellets and that worked great with a new breech plug.
Drilling out the breech plugmakes a mess of the gunwith all the blowback.
