They have both been shot hundreds of times and I have never seen any difference in performance and both are still pristine.

Thanks, that's what I was wanting to hear!!!

Just for the record. When you say....."That's what I wanted to hear."

It means they haven't heard it before, but it's the answer they wanted.

Just saying.

If I send you the factory plug right out of the gun how fast can you drill it for a vent and get it back to me? I know it's hunting season and all.

We normally mail the worked plugs back the next morning after they arrive here.

sabinajiles, gave me a detailed comparison and that is what I was looking for. MD'S answer was fine, but not detailed like sabinajiles. I hope you understand.

The muzzle-loaders.com web site says they have both the CVA regular stainless and black coated stainless BH 2009 breech plugs in stock. The description for both say they come with an installation wrench, although my son ordered one from them a couple of months ago and it did not come with the wrench. You can also install them by wrapping the knurled outer portion with duct tape and using a small pipe wrench or large vice grips.

I just ordered the plug from the place you suggested. Thanks for the link!!

What city / state do you hunt in? Sometimes climate is the difference in performance, between the two manufactured plugs.

Not being a CVA owner myself, I've read posts where the CVA plug performed flawlessly during October sight-in at 55 degrees. But when muzzleloading season and 20 degrees arrived, hangfires occurred.

If it were my CVA, I'd be using the Western Powder one.
