Yeah, carbon fouling is typically from too light of a load not creating enough working pressure to cleanly burn all the powder.
Powders generate pressure by generating pressure. I realize that sounds contradictory, but the pressure created by the burning powder provides the chemical process for the powder to burn efficiently and generate more pressure.
Sounds like you're not generating the minimal pressures in this load. You could step up the load or choose a powder that burns a bit faster. Some load manual data provides pressure ratings. The manual should also list comparative burn rates for various powders. These ratings can help you find a powder that is matched for your prefered load. (And then you have to tweek all over again for accuracy with that powder/bullet combo.)
