    Little brown pellets in powder residue....

    Random question here: after I've been firing, when I swab, I sometimes come up with little (maybe 1mm in size) brown/burnt-orange pellets. Something in the powder not burning completely? I'm using FFF Kik BP in a .50 flinter... Just curious. Thanks!
