This has been on my mind for a while and I thought I could air it here for some feedback.
Has anyone really seen breechplugs affect their accuracy and if so how much?
I have T/Cs and have been shooting one old plug in several rifles for years. I got it on a project barrel, it's pitted and looks terrible and has some real bad firecutting. It has the large dome that goes clear to the edges and I liked the way it worked with loose T7 and now with BH209 so kept switching it from rifle to rifle when I go to the range. I just bought a new plug because the fouling was geting past the primer and making a mess and figure it 's time to retire it.
I never saw any accuracy problems with my Encores or Omega and would have noticed because I expect sub MOA from 2 of these rifles. It never seemed to matter whether I used 25ACP BP, large dome or small dome BPs . I can't recall if my POI was different with the different plugs because I don't pay much attention where groups are printing until the final sighting with my exact hunting set up and usually tweak it a few clicks every season. Thanks
