I had problems with misfires with 777 primers so I switched to CCI shotgun primers.
Went through the remainder of the hunting season without cleaning the plug - maybe 6-8 rounds.
After getting skunked for the first time in modern history, I set out to clean for the final time.
The breech plug had what I think was burned primer almost fused onto the end and some of the sides of the plug. Had to resort to good old Hoppes and a brass brush. It was a bear to get clean.
So either I have to stop using the regular shotgun primers - or clean right after shooting???
