Not sure that is what I said, at least not that way... the 3mm and 1/8 will work and as you said eventually they will fail if you do not keep on your maintenanace. I, and several others that know these things, believe the larger diameter flash channel will make the plug more efficient and reduce upkeep maintenance. The necessity of the powder cup, needed for ignition, is also negated with the combination of the two modification (increased size of the flash channel and the addition of the Vent liner) Further the addition of the vent liner makes your one breech plug a life time plug.
Who is the shill in your world? is that me? I certainly do not try to be...
Have you though about putting a peep on the rifle... My eyes are bad enough that works well for me... of course a scope with a fast focus ring on the eye peice would probably be great for you...
Currently, during our muzzle loader season, i use the X7 with factory peep sight. I have installed a peep on my Accura. I have the same issue with both; that being, i have to squint about as tight as a human bein' can in order to make the front sight appear round.
I'm sorry i thought i made it clear there were two that have pushed these theory about what it takes to make a successful BH breech plug. The Omega plug, the home made Accura plug, and the modified QRBP continue to work in cold weather, when their flash channel has closed down by carbon to as small as 1/16". Your theory doesn't explain reality. When scientist has theory that doesn't explain reality, the theory are dumped. Einstein became famous, because he could make theory that explained reality. The other is also known as the 'arrogant one'.
After reading the CVA lad post about OAL length, i am forced to agree with you. An OAL hex head CVA breech plug length with the W209 in place, of 1.310" would probably be the cat's meow.
