Thanks for the pictures Ron. I'll have to check later but I believe the end of my Pro Hunter plug is shaped differently. I can't remember though. I'll let you know when I pull it out later.
Your pro-hunter plug is shaped differently. Ron likes to add a powder pocket in his creations. It actually moves the powder closer to the primer which moves it closer to an Omega type plug. It is a good theory and by math should and does work fine. I prefer to keep the flash channel at the end of the plug. It creates a flash chanel that has greater volume to reduce the pressure on the blow back pressure on the nose of the primer.

To me the key is the size of the flash channel - opening it to a larger diameter allows the plug to breath and be more efficient while also increasing the volume of the flash channel.

The pictures are small so you might have to magnify them...
