CVA BH209 Breech bit size

[atmat]

Does anyone have a nitride BH209 CVA breech plug that can tell me what drill bit size to use to clean the channel? The website says 1/8”, but I have multiple bits that size that won’t fit into the channel.

It’s never been shot, so I know it’s not an issue off too much build up.

My next smallest bit is way too small to do any actual cleaning.

1/8th fit in all of them that I had. You might try a 31, 32, or 33 bit as well.

I’ll see if I have any of those. Thanks!

Aren't you supposed to use the wire cleaners like welders use to clean torch tips? Pretty sure that's what I have.

The primer side you can get a bit in. The side you’re referring to can take one of those cleaners, but I’ve personally never cleaned one in 20 years of using a muzzleloader.

Gotcha. Just checked my cleaning box and there is one of those wire sets and an 1/8" bit.

Update for anyone reading this down the road. While the website said my breach needed a 1/8” bit (0.1250”), it actually needed a #31 bit (0.1200”).

The 1/8” wouldn’t fit at all, while the #31 is very tight but works perfectly.
