I have a Savage 12 in .223. When I was cleaning it after the last time I shot towards the end some of the patches were coming out like dark red in the middle. This was after I let it sit for a while with KG 12 in the bore (first time ever using KG12). Is this what you get when there's rust in the bore or is it something with the the new chemical? It hasn't been stored in the greatest conditions. It's been in my bosses basement for about the last 8 months in a hard case, with the rest of my guns. There's no rust on the outside of it or anywhere on any of my other guns. Any information would be great, thanks.
