Thank you for the kind word! Obviously a poor job was done by me explaining the process. Perhaps this time..
First, clean the rifle so it is squeaky, shiny..
Second, install a breech plug with a flame channel that is the full length of the breech plug, and pop 3 shotgun primers.
Third, install a normal breech plug with a flash hole, load the rifle, and go hunting.
The soot from the popped primers isn't trapped in the flame channel of the breech plug, because there is no flash hole, instead the soot coats the barrel, and mimics burnt powder. That first shot then, has the same point of impact as following shots, however, the soot from the primers isn't corrosive.
