I did not clean the breech plug during the (aprox) 15 shots. I don't seem to get much dried residue out of the plug when I'm home. I use a 1/8" drill bit by hand. as suggested by T/C.
Next time out I'm going to run the bit in every 3 firings and try again to load without running a patch down between shots. I must say that running the patch down & up does remove a lot of BLACK residue from a single shot. It would seem that this stuff would accumulate fast in a barrel that was repeatedly fired without cleaning.
I ordered some more 250gr TMZ bullets because they seemed to shoot better than anything else, including the 290gr TMZ.
Thanks again for all the advice.
