I hadn't shot all of August, and when I took it out last weekend for goose season, my plug was loose. It was loose enough it could fall out under gravity. I've had this horn for 2-3 years, and the plug was always tight, I'm not sure what happened. Apparently the dry summer caused it to shrink. I discovered this as I was trying to get out the door, so I did the quickest fix I could think of with what was in the garage. I rubbed it in beeswax. Sure enough, it seems to have done more than a satisfactory job in making it fit snug, or at least glued it in. Does anyone else have any tricks to making a plug fit tight again?
 
Depends on what I'm shooting. Right now it's Schuetzen 3F for the 40, but once squirrel season is over and after I bust a javelina here soon, it'll go back to Olde Eynsford 2F. The Swiss 1.5 is for those new cartridges everyone keeps talking about.
