[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 763326, member: 33046"] Most of the drilling of flash holes has always been related to the CVA breech plugs, to make them capable of shooting BH209. Although some have drilled them out larger, .031" was the recommendation. CVA and Western fixed the issue with replacement breech plugs. One also has to recognize that the flash holes will enlarge and wear themselves if the rifle is shot a lot. I have to replace breech plugs quite often. Also realize that opening up the flash hole to large, can cause to much pressure to be sent back through the plug. Back in the day before inlines, there were a few guys that thought drilling out a nipple would increase ignition. Countless numbers of those shooters found themselves in the emergency room getting sewed up, after the hammer was blown back into their hand. [/QUOTE]
