Shooting BH with a rear sealing BP is not a problem -and I believe it would not be a problem with smokeless, but I am really skeptical with the use of T7.
Have you shot a range session with T7 and a rear seling BP? Or do you know of anyone that has?
Remington genesis which used same plug as traditions used with rear seal.
I used a Remington genesis alot several years ago with blackpowder and triple seven with no breech seizures.
sabotloader said:My next question as brought forth by Jeff Hankins - will mass produced muzzleloaders get to the point where tolerances would allow a snug fitting rear sealed BP? Tight fitting - I mean Jeff mentioned that his plugs threads fit tightly snugly in the breech threads. I understand how you custom builder accomplish it but I am wondering in mass production could/would that happen?
Muley Hunter said:The CVA BP is sealed. When using BH 209 which is the most popular powder now. You don't need any anti-seize grease. You need no tape. You can keep the threads on the BP and barrel bone dry. I've taken 50 shots with bone dry threads to prove a point in the past. It was finger tight to install, and it was finger tight to remove. If that isn't a sealed BP I don't know what it.
No argument. Just a fact done by many who own CVA's. Maybe the BP is on the soft side to help it seal in the front.

The breech plug threads on the Accura MR stay pretty clean. But the plug leaks around the primer and gets the firing pin and action dirty. Mine is actually pretty good but far from perfect with Winchester primers.

I know this was requested way back in the thread, but I was getting ready to head to the Rock Pit this morning and thought I could/would/should take the opportunity to check mine. I will recheck later today after I clean and re-install.
It appears that I am just under 50 inch pounds... And remember I normally use a socket ratchet system and SWAG (feel) tightening system

When you get out amongst the world, trust me, BH209 is not the most popular propellant. BH won't be the only propellant used, ever. So all propellants MUST be considered.
