So after two days of shooting and a thorough cleaning in between, I noticed slivers/specs/powdery yellowish substance (I'm thinking from the casing crimp) all over my magazine and in my action as well as my grip area. Is this the result of the cartridge crimping as the casing is ejected from the luger and the yellowish stuff is the shavings or objects removed from the cartridge casing during ejection/extraction?
