I think making a deeper concavity in the breech plug will help with this issue.
When i first got this rifle i started with the crush rib sabot, because that is what i use in my Omega. They were definitely too loose. These Harvester smooth sabot are as tight as i want to deal with.
I was gonna mention the Primer but I figured you were on that already. That's one reason I ordered 2 extra BP's when I got My ACCURA's, plus I never let them get close to carboned up, there removed when I suspect them being carboned and get a quick channel clean.
Have you noticed a difference in a more concave end to the BP? or have'nt you had time enough to determine this? Since BH should not draw moisture Im betting as you said the hangfire is due to the carbon in the BP.
