Default Encore Breech Plug

I got some feedback on my other post on my Encore pistol range results but I thought I'd start a new thread more focused on the topic.
I was having some delayed ignition using BH209 on my outing. Zero delays with Alliant Black MZ.
The BP on my Encore has the hex head for installation/removal and the front face is slightly concaved. Hubby stated in my other thread that they had a new design that had a cupped face. I can't see any images on line about this type. All the pic show are the back end of the BP and not the end that contacts the powder.
Would it improve ignition if I were to bore out a "cup" in the face of the BP?
