What type of powder are you loading with? The photos 'almost' look like unburned powder, similar to what I experienced when using 4227
"Aero quality"....lolBarrel/extension… causing it to sprinkle brass like sand in your upper… barrel should have some kinda marking on it… or it’s the aero upper… but that’s pretty rare with aero quality, not impossible though
On the Winchester subsonic loads there was a bunch of un-burned powder in my lower. I got some Ammo INC and AAC sub loads to see if they suffer the same issue.
