Good call. That is a very serious concern. You don't want a projectile to move off the powder charge.

I'd go even one step further. Remove the breech plug, push a Thor down from the muzzle and then see how much tension there is by using the ramrod from the breech end. I'd want to "feel" some resistance.

One other thing. A loose fitting projectile could potentially cause ignition problems with BH209.

Is there a reason why I don't have the same experience with PBs?

The plastic skirt on PBs is flexible.
