Default good copper remover??

i just bought a 22-250 a couple weeks ago. got 50 or so rounds through it thus far. been cleaning after every few shots(usually groundhog hunting, i'll shoot a few and come home and clean) i been using birchwood casey "bore scrubber" i believe its called. ill patch it, let it soak, patch it, scrub it, patch it, dry it and patches come out clean but i still see copper in the bore. its there before and after cleaning. the solvent gets out some but not all of it. not sure what it does to my accuracy. still havent got a good scope on it so i havent really tested the accuracy. 16 dead chucks says it shoots pretty good...but the copper bugs me. ive never seen that in any of my rifles. not sure what needs to be done.

plan to order a good rod and bore quide with the new scope but should i be using a different solvent?? what do you guys recommend?? when cleaning a rifle like that what cleaning process would you use?? i dont mind cleaning every night after hunting and only firing a couple rounds..ive always been that way with my firearms...just trying to do whats right...but that copper fouling is killing me...i just hate to see it even after ive cleaned the heck out of it!

suggestions?? thanx guys
