Make sure when you clean your breech plug you are using a small 3mm drill bit turned by hand to clean out the 'flash channel' directly under the primer. The small hole in the end of the BP is the 'flash hole" you should not need to do anything with it. the less you stick something through it the better.
I use a 'drill bit on a stick' for the job...
