You have fouling as others have said.

You don't need a brass brush or a Lewis Lead Remover.

Cut about a 1" square from a new piece of Scotch-Brite (the green scratch pads sold in the Supermarket for scrubbing out pots & pans). Use this to clean the chambers by pushing it through with your cleaning rod. Solvent is a help here.

Next time, inspect the chambers and the bore by looking through them at a light or at a piece of paper held to catch the light. You will see whatever crud has been left behind by ineffective cleaning.

That is an interesting tip, I bet it works too.

Also Remington blitz cloth will remover fouling including metal, quicker than just solvent and a patch. Don't use it on blueing tho as it will remove it if used very hard.
