The forcing cone into the rifling seems to have a copper color in the groves once you get it cleaned. "copper"?
I have tons of greendot and would like to use it. It works realy good in my pt1911 in .45.
Any thoughts?

ranger,
Copper fouling is a real problem. It needs to be cleaned out or you will get some serious leading. There is an electrical process for doing so, see if someone has that setup in your area. Some of the cleaning solvents are specially formulated to remove copper fouling, try one of those.
I don't think I have ever seen a copper color very pronounced in any handgun, if you can see it, that may be the problem.
Of course, fit, hardness and size still play the biggest part in any lead fouling. Make sure your bullets aren't too hard and too small. If they are, you will NEVER use them without leading.
