sabotloader, I also clean off the burrs and black the face and match it up to the seat in the barrel, I wonder if thats part of the reason you and I never have one stick; I know I keep reading about people having that problem and I have never had any of my guns have one stick and I will shoot 777 all day with out ever even thinking about it and go home and take the Triumph plug out with my fingers every time,I have to use a wrench on the Omega to get a hold of it but it never takes any effort to get it out.
