My ACCURA's, especially the one I used most for Hunting this year is a real shooter, I'd hate to put er down for a new one just for the new BP.

It appears you have become a little worried about the breech plug in your Accura. Here is some news that may reduce some of your concern.
This morning when i woke up it was -9* here. At dawn it was -12* here. When i left to go hunting it was -8* here. Since i wasn't in a big hurry to get out of the truck, i took a little detour to a piece of ground where i shoot at paper, that is more or less on the way to where i wanted to hunt.
My Accura spent the night in the truck, and was last fired and loaded 3 days ago. I set up the target and moved the truck to the same approximate spot i fired a shot from 3 days ago, when it wasn't so cold, which was about 99 yard from the target. Today it was -14* up there. When i pulled the trigger on the Accura, it fired with Authority, even though it was dirty and cold. The paper is here:
One bullet hole is from this morning, and the other is from 3 days ago in the morning before i went hunting. The load was 105g BH209, 300g 44 caliber xtp, Harvester smooth sabot, and a Winchester W209 shot shell primer.
The breech plug of the Accura works you see.
