Sabotloader,

I regularly decarbon my breech plug and make sure the flash hole is open. I am speaking from my personal experience that I have yet to have a misfire in any of the TC plugs. Breech plug maintenance is something I have found that a lot of shooters do not keep up on then blame the gun, powder and plug. Most shooters I have seen never decarboned the breechplug when switching from T7 to BH209. Some will argue the flash channel is not 1/8th because it is so carboned up they cannot get the bit to start. If you keep using the plug while carboned up then flame cutting will happen and you will loose heat to the charge. These are not things I have read I have personal experience with them.
