I hand load 224 Valkyrie. Was using 75 grain eldm, now 88 grain.
26.4 grains of CFE223
I shoot with a supressor. I have an adjusting gas block. I’ve tried light weight and standard weight bolt carriers.
My suppressor, chamber, and upper are FILTHY after 100 rounds. Seriously, dirtier than my M4/M16 EVER were in the army.
Happens with the 75 grain and 88.
Happens with CCI BR4 primers and Federal gold medal match.
If I clean my rifle, go to the range, my first 15-20 spent cases aren’t bad. By the time I get to 60-70 shots, my cases look black coming out.
Is there a cleaner powder?
What are my options?
Any ideas?
