Yes. Looks like carbon to me.
This is the 'lie' that the clean patches tell. It just means the patch ain't getting any more carbon out.

The only way I've been able to get carbon that remains after brushing/patching is with an abrasive.

 

[Charlie-NY]

Soak overnight with a carbon remover, then use JB or Flitz. The carbon will be gone.

I have brushed so much I'm afraid I'll brush the rifling out . This has just happened in the last 100 rounds . I bore scope after every cleaning .

Do you use a new brush every time? I always do.

But, carbon sure seems to stick harder in hot and humid weather. I’m sure that’s why there’s been a change. Use some JB on a patch and carry on.

Art, all good info so far IMO, and 'yes', it sure looks like carbon to me.

I also use JB, Flitz and Sweets when necessary, but another product that needs mentioning is Holland's Witches Brew. It's a mixture of carbon kill solvents in a carrier with a micro abrasive that really works when put on a bronze brush with a patch soaked in the stuff. Works like magic, been using it in my high volume rifles for years and has no ill effects on barrel steel.

Explain how you clean what solvents you use, otherwise we are guessing on how to help.

 

[Benchrest Braxton]

get some thorroclean, it will get rid of that remaining hard carbon if you are worried about it

Does the bullet ride much on the grooves anyway?

I really don't like using abrasives ,in this new of a barrel. I'v been using thorroclean .

And with all of these cleaning systems, have your groups gotten smaller?

That is another thing never been really happy with this barrel , not getting the groups that I think I should be getting .

 

[Martin52]

A soak in Free All then bronze brushing might do it for you.

Well I did it !! cleaned on it all day and only got white patches out of it . So I just Flitz the barrel and supper black patches . I'll let it soak all night with Butch's bore shine clean it good in the morning and bore scope it again.

Thorroclean has abrasives in it.

the black is metal coming out, not carbon

 

[ogre1911]

Is this a custom barrel or factory?

 

[Thud]

Try some Ed's Red that will take carbon out. Formula online.

Thorroclean is an abrasive
