Recently I noticed while shooting my old TC Encore 50 cal, about a dozen rounds, the breech plug and the area around where the action and barrel meet outside was really fouled. I guess I haven't notice it before being that bad because I normally fire only a few times before I clean the breech and barrel. I do swab the barrel between every shots, and I am using 100 grains of lose 777 and Remington ML Primers pushing a Shockwave .250 grain sabot. That combination shoots really well for me and I like it. I have a new breech plug and it is the old type without an rubber O ring on the back side of the breech plug. I am wondering if I should be getting considerable fouling that is blowing back like this and if this is normal.
Should I try and minimize it with rubber O rings in the primer pocket, change powders, or do I have a headspace problem? Some has suggested Blackhorn and CCI mag primers. Would BH help eliminate the blow back?
Any suggestions is appreciated!
