Cleaning A Muzzleloader Breechplug

[WV Hunter]

I put my BP in a pill bottle filled with windex w/vinegar while I'm cleaning the rest of the rifle. Once she soaks a bit, I drill her out and finish cleaning it up. I re-install my plugs so the rifle is ready to go. :yeah:

I grabbed a pill bottle yesterday and threw it in my bag. Need a 3mm drill yet. I’ll keep using the standard breech plug until I use up all my T7.

If you cannot find a 3mm drill, a #32 drill is only 0.002" smaller. The #32 drill may be easier to find than the metric drill? Another option is to use the 1/8" drill to enlarge the flame channel to 1/8", and then you can clean the channel with the same drill it was cut with. Be sure to stop drilling when you hit the flash hole, so you don't destroy it.
