I'll be as brief as possible and still do this.
Make your own T.H. liner. Drill the hole off center.
Cut a slot so you can adjust the now "eccentric" hole so the bottom is "water level" with the pan so that a FULL pan will not cover the hole.
Cone the liner ON THE INSIDE leaving maybe a 1/32" of material. ( Never on the outside.)When you load, you should be able to see a powder grain if you hold the rifle up to look.
That powder needs to be "right there".
Convection will send that hot blast into that cold bore like a laser beam.
This way, you load the pan FULL. You can carry the gun in any position and just shoot without a worry of where the pan powder is. Quit obsessing over it. I hunted for thirty years tuning this way. If you say it doesn't work, then you have not correctly done it.
Polish the inside face of your lock to increase lock time.
If you cannot hold your rifle upside down and fire it, you aren't tuned.
Make the vent 1/8" and carry a pipe cleaner. Just run it through the hole before loading.(Smallest vent that a small pipe cleaner will fit through.)
Never fire the gun just to "Dry it out" before loading. Just run patches till dry and use pipe cleaners to finish. I NEVER had a misfire due to a damp bore doing this.
First time I've been here in a year or so, and probably be that long again.
I doubt that anyone will do this, but it actually is the truth. I learned it by paying attention to the VERY few folks I met that understood ignition, and by experimentation.
I started shooting and then hunting in 1970 and hung it up in 1999. I seldom had a misfire or hang fire except in the rain. And I hunted in Louisiana and Miss. Not exactly the desert.
Cosby.
