I just put together a 6.5x47 and took it to the range today.

I loaded up some lighter loads of Varget (36 grains) and 123 Amax just to put some shots through it. I shot a few out of a brand new barrel and then cleaned it up.

I noticed some unburned powder when I ran a patch through it...It was almost like the "hulls" of the powder.

I was using CCI BR4 primers. I know alot of guys are running magnums, but I don't have any on hand.

I was reading on some previous threads that an increase of powder might clean it up..

Give me some advice please
