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.

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.

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.
