[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 5224894, member: 15365"] I understand that and im saying the flash hole should need nothing at all. It gets larger each shot. Not smaller from carbon. All a flash hole needs is to be checked for size. Running any thing rough through a flash hole only creates more erosion. What you can do with the tip cleaners is measure them until you find one that is .036 ON THE SMOOTH PART. Never run the rough part through a flash hole. Now you have a .036 pin gauge to check your plug. When the flash hole is .036 or more the plug or vent liner is shot. Ive literally sat at a range and shot over 40 loads of BH209 in a day before. The flash HOLE never needed a thing but the flash channel was getting pretty nasty with carbon. Guys swabbing their barrels might have issues shoving fouling back into a plug. I never swab when shooting BH209. Solvents can and do have a really bad effect on ignition if you use too much. My bore and plug are dry as a bone before the first shot is ever fired. They stay that way until im done shooting BH209. Ive had one hang fire since 2009ish using BH209 and it was pretty much all my fault. I was using the old Knight FPJ plug and i had never cleaned the flash channel. All this time ive used almost nothing but Win209s and ive shot many many lead conicals that load with finger pressure. So you guys with lots of ignition issues have something else going on. My rifles stay loaded all season if unfired. They also stay cold if taken outside in the cold. Even after 2 months loaded they go bang and hit where i aim. [/QUOTE]
