The Omega breech plug has a flash hole that is considerably longer. This is one thing i considered, but then it seemed like the vent liner would be more better; perhaps not.

Oops, it isn't as extreme as i thought. The Omega breech plug has about 1/4' from the bottom of the flame channel to the face of the opening, while the Accura breech plug has about 1/8" from the bottom of the flame channel to the face of the opening.
So if you and I get our Flash Channels drilled out
I guess we'd have to measure the exact length of the flash channel and go no further, simple as that right? Or measure the length from the top of the BP to the end of the fire channel.
