GM I stand corrected I had bored the flash hole out to .035" prior to putting the pocket in the face. I just pulled it and checked the flash hole after putting the pocket in and it is about .060"! Way too big. I used the same .060" bit and hand turned it in the back end of the BP below the primer pocket and it was filled with carbon. Once thru the carbon it went all the way thru the BP. I guess when I drilled out the pocket I cut deep enough to get to the larger section of the flash hole.
The BP on my 209x45 barrel already has the deeper cup in the face with the small flash hole (.030").
Looks like I'll be buying a new BP. Any idea what part number it is?

Sabotloader - I may just do that myself with the vent liner. Shouldn't be too difficult.
