TC breech
I have a TC pro hunter and trying to figure out the proper way to clean the breech. As you can tell by my questions I am new at this. Can I clean this or do I need a new breech. I checked and they are $50 so I rather clean it. I heard of the 1/8" drill bit but how far are you suppose to go in with it? As you can tell on this picture is this the way they are supposed to look like?

For best results you should run a drill in turned by hand every 10 shots.
Now on mine I have drilled the fire channel out with a #21 drill and thread the load end wit a 10-32 tap and screwed in a vent liner so I can replace just the vent liner when it burns out I also find the vent liner is hardened different and lasts lots longer than the standard BP.

You also can find some square shanked drill bits that you can insert in a 1/4" screw driver handle..
This group of pics shows basically what Lemoyne was talking about...
