Guys I hate to potentially beat a dead dog here but I seem to be having a cleaning issue here. I’m pretty new to this so I’m pretty eager to hear some of your insights. After cleaning my rifle I’m still having crud come out on dry patches that I’m not totally certain about. I just bought myself a Lyman GPR back in April and I shoot it 2-3 times a month. I’m starting to notice this issue. I clean in hot water and then dry patch it, then a windex patch, dry patch, then a healthy coat of ballistol. But today, and last weekend, I haven’t been able to get all the crud out. I thought it was rust at first, but now I’m not so sure that’s what I’m seeing. It’s more brown than red. And literally just a few minutes ago, after the rifle sat for about 3 hours, I ran a dry patch down it out of paranoia, I get black greasy crud! But just on the first pass? Then back to this brown? I’m using pre-lubed shooting patches. Wonder lube to be exact. I always felt like they were too heavy on the lube. Something tells me that’s the problem but I’m not certain. Ever seen this?
