Consumables Wearing? Gouging at beginning of cuts

Hi everyone,

Like the title says, I’m gouging and not cutting through at the beginning of my cuts. Also, after a few minutes of cutting, I’m losing the pilot arc.

I’m thinking it’s time for consumables, but looking for advice since I’m new to this world. My nozzle doesn’t quite look egg shaped, but is visibly worn. My electrode has a small divot in the center and almost a swirl around it.

I’ve got some Christmas presents to make for the family, so I’ve been scrounging around for consumables with no luck.

See attached picture of my work.
