I think you are right; I think it came from the rod. I didn't think it was the case but I found tiny scratches on the rod after close inspection. The 223 is just tight enough to cause it while the 243 I cleaned did not. It wasn't tight in the barrel until the cloth would overlap it.
Thanks for the help.
