Pete's breech plug and vent liner size

[spoonover]

Just received Pete's BP, for Remington 700 very nice workmanship!

I am done with the brass, and have to wait for the barrel so I can drill and tap for breech plug. Will modify brass if needed after the barrel is fitted to the action?

Need to know what size hole is best for his vent liner? Some have said bigger for the 45 pacnor and am concerned.

Have a .45 cal barrel coming from McGowan 1-18" twist. #7 contour

Been making vent liners for the Savage .50 and works great, thanks to all here that made this possible.

Will the 45 and 50 be the same, or is there a bigger drill size needed?
Thanks Rick

I had a quantity of factory vent liners and have been using them
with no problems whatsoever in the PN .45. Should add that my
BP's are all recessed and always use duplex with N110 as the
primer powder.

One of the breech plugs is one that Pete at PA machine made in
which he used a bushing (I hear he's no longer doing that). No
problems there, either.
