Metallic Flakes

Don;

The point I am about to make may very well be a mute one since you have not indicated that you use these itmes, and nobody else has brought it up, but I have found that they generate metallic flakes as you indicated. If I use brushes or rods of aluminum and do not use a muzzle guide, I frequently get these symptoms. I have since ceased using aluminum in favor of brass. I don't particularly like using steel on steel or coated rods because the plastic coating tends to break down over time.

Anyway, I offer my two cents for what ever it is worth to you.

Best Regards;
