put 40 monarch 145gr fmj's through my new 700 sps-v the other day. just looked at the bolt and theres red dust on the end of it inside the lip and around the hole that the firing pin comes out of. its like a dark red, almost maroon, not a red-orange rust color. what is this? is it bad? do i clean it off? thanks

Re: red dust in bolt
Check the primers of the rounds and see if there is red primer sealer. A picture would help everyone determine what the stuff is.

Re: red dust in bolt
checked the unfired rounds, theres a red line around the primer. looks like red sharpie but when i look closer, it looks like some kind of sealant. thats got to be what it is, burnt up into a powder once fired and left in my action. how do i clean out my action? gun cleaner on a bore mop?

Re: red dust in bolt
Go with Hoppes. Don't use Sweets on anything but the bore and make sure you follow it with Hoppes because of the Ammonia base or you will see corrosion(rust) on non stainless parts. Sweet should be use to remove copper only. Also Sweets is hell on bedding
