Good answers. To some degree some unburned powder is the small price you pay with low P loads, especially in the cold. When you shoot in extreme cold keep your shells inside your coat somehow and don't pile your extras on a table. My bbls are a disaster when I shoot up here at -25deg - they look just like black powder burn. I try to put a factory target load through each bbl as my last shot to clean them out.
