When drilling the breach plug flash hole, any special tips? I would be concerned about breaking off that small bit when using my drill press.


Start with a smaller bit and work your way up to the 1/8th bit. Its probably years of carbon build up thats stopping the bit from going through the FLASH CHANNEL. Your FLASH HOLE is probably around .034-.035ish. You are using a bare primer Knight plug, right?
