Tried out my new Blackout yesterday after 20 rounds I went to clean the bolt carrier group & the bolt had a bunch of copper particles stuck to the sides in the widest area where bolt rides/slides inside the carrier group restricting its back and forth movement. Also on the very end where the firing pin enters the bolt there were the same particles of copper they were stuck I would say the heat got them stuck to the surface big time. Any ideas on the cause of this? I was using 178 Amaxes and 150 SST Hornady bullets. I'm not quite sure what would cause copper to be blown back into the bolt like that other than the feed ramps or the gas hole in the Barrel itself possibly shaving off copper and pushing it back into the bolt carrier group. Just wondering if anybody has experienced this and what was their remedy to clear it up? Thanks
