I am making a 58 caliber flintlock. I have purchased a hooked flintlock L&R breech. There is a 3/8" vent hole cavity. When the breech is in place this leaves a ledge from cavity to the .58 inside of the barrel. My question is do most leave the ledge or taper the barrel side of the breech so the powder flows to the bottom? Does it matter?
