Sometimes but mostly copper. But I will happen even right after I've cleaned it

Do you use lead pills with waxy coating?

All my .22 Martini's have done the same over the years.

At one time I knocked up a short cleaning rod with a nylon bristle brush that I would clean out the chamber with when the cases started getting sticky. I would keep it on the shooting mat next to my spotting scope - a couple of quick twists in the chamber and back to shooting.

I use a lot of the SK ammo which tends to be very waxy. While it does build up in the rifle it doesn’t impact the extractor, even with 200+ rounds in a session.
