    Default CVA Wolf Marks on primer

    Was going to fire a few rounds to start getting prepared for deer season but after firing first shot noticed that there were marks on either side of the firing pin strike that look like the primer was forced back into the pin housing. They match the slot that use use to remove the pin housing. I can't remember if this is normal or not .

    Same load for several years. 2 50 grain white hots and 250 grain barnes sabot.
    I have to use this phone for internet so no pics.
    Thoughts ?

    Was actually considering that anyways dutch. Only a hundred or so rounds through it but probably still a good idea.
    Thanks.

    Are there any marks on your fired primers other than the firing pin strike ?

    On the primer it looks like Morse code. Dash dot dash . -.-
    The dot is even with the dashes.
    Ordered new breach plug off eBay today.

    Is your firing pin retainer tight?

    Yes.
    Haven't fired the gun yet but the new plug has a flash hole one third the size of the old one so i think that was the problem.
    Will confirm once i have flung some lead down range.

    Normally, CVA uses a .028'' flash hole for most powders. If you use BH209, they have a special plug with a .035'' flash hole and also a .120'' flash channel instead of .116''. I have both plugs and have verified these sizes. 209 primers leave a lot of carbon behind, especially Winchester, and the easiest way to clean it is with drill bits. A rep from Western Powders recommended an item called EEZY-BREECH from www.plugcleaner.com. I got it last year and is it a bargain and easy to set up and use. They are supplying me with a .035'' flash hole cleaner this year.
