Yes it is false, I had a nice discussion with BarnesAddict , I was adament that I had a .116" flash channel in my breech plug, "I had the drill bit .116" but the Breech Plug was 1/8" flash channel. The only thing that saved me is I would regularly use the drill bit, when I got home I would use it one last time and then soak the BP in Slip 2000 Piston and choke cleaner. After 15 min I would clean out the flash channel with q-tips, so the slip 2000 cleaned out any remaining carbon, then I would lube the BP with slip 2000 lube. So the next time I went to the range I started out with a 1/8" flash Channel. I neve had a problem but I don't see how I got away with it for so long.

So in essence My knowledge of the size of the flash Channel for the Breech Plug for the T/C Encore Pro Hunter is complements of BarnesAddict.
