well that sounds good. i was beginning to think that a unfired brand new rifle would come out with blue. also i use some nylon bristle brushes to just be sure and still some blue. i can tell you that i have a brand new rifle and am and have only used the hodgdon CFE223 powder for all the rounds and i can tell you that its alot better, still some blue even with nylon bristle brushes but actually slot better, i am sold on the copper fouling eraser powder for that part.
