I do not have the correct instruments to measure the plugs accurately due to the head of the QRBP's. I also do not have a CVA Blackhorn plug to compare to the Western Powders plug. Looking at the stock QRBP beside Westerns it looks to be two different metals?? With primers inserted in both plugs they appear to sit flush with the end of the plug. My non QRBP's definitely had the primer pockets drilled too deep allowing the primers to be well below the end of the plug. I will try the stock plug next trip out and see how the spent primers look.
