The drill bit thing is primarily relevant to cleaning the flame channel beneath the primer cup of the breech plug. And that is only when using Blackhorn 209 powder which leaves a hard carbon buildup in that flame channel. For an Accura, a 1/8" bit is a little too big - a 3/32" will work fine though. Occasionally there might be need for such a cleaning with some other powder type, but the BH209 makes it mandatory.

As to your decision, it's yours to make. I don't own a shotgun of any sort and haven't for years. Quail were nearly destroyed in this area (just now starting to see a bit of a comeback), I got tired of wasting ammo shooting at doves, and you have to be just plain crazy to hunt ducks and geese.
