CVA plugs are not TC plugs,
Thank Gosh!... but that is not the point you always try to twist the subject to make it into a comparison of any product to a CVA product - really does not matter what the subject might be.

The point at hand is the CVA plug is not the best design for seamless ignition of BH-209 and again I ask you to call Don they have tested almost everyones breech plug. He will offer his suggestion to the modification of the CVA plug, you might not like his answer but it is what works reliably for Western Powders. The CVA plug was undoubtably designed like many others to reduce blow back, keep the breech clean, like most any other manufacturer. That thought alone makes it difficult to use BH with these types plugs.

Further I really do not care what you shoot and most often what you think because it is so biased it is very difficult to spearate reality from fiction.

It just bugs me a bit when you tell a new BH user trying to use it in a CVA - that the problem is all him because it can not be his gun - gosh it has to be him as he has a CVA and nothing is wrong them... That is not the answer the user needs.

People in this thread have confirmed that there is a problem and have offered to help him... even you have offered your help... carry a set of drill bits. IMO bringing a set of drill bits with you is not the best answer. Why not just fix the problem - it is a very easy fix, especially with a CVA plug. They are very inexpensive and the metal is so soft they are very easy to drill and polish. And I did not decide the CVA plug metal was soft... I just drill them, it was detirmined a machinist who modified a CVA plug and an Omega plug in a lathe.
