High,
You could run that cleaning rod down a plastic pipe and the patches would come out blue. False positive indications of copper when using brass tipped cleaning rods are normal. Even worse after using a brass brush.
If you agree that removing copper is counter productive to shooting then you could use a bore cleaner that removes carbon only. Boretech Eliminator will be messing with your zero every time it strips copper. You will find a number of guys here don't clean their barrels every time they shoot - I'm one of them.
