.270 WIN
Hey everyone. I was cleaning my Remington 700P in .308, after firing 5 shots at the range. The first patch came out dark as normal, not excessively dirty or anything.
Next patch through had some bluey green mixed in to the darker colored powder. Following patches continued to be blue, and powder was getting less as normal with each patch. The blueish green continued.
Maybe this is a dumb question and the blueish coloured stuff is just copper?
I was shooting Winchester ballistic silvertips off the hop, this was the first time out with copper jacketed bullets (cheap core-lockt Remington)
The patches pictured are 3rd and 5th pulled through.
