    Touch Hole Bushing sets to far in barrel

    I had a rebore on my Lyman Trade rifle from50-54 caliber. Now my touch hole bushing threads further in the barrel and takes up half of my patent breech channel. Maybe the "stop" was milled out when the barrel was rebored? How can I fix this for better ignition? Thanks for replies!
