Ever seen a spot like this in a barrel?

New Savage 6MM Creed. I cleaned before shooting and cleaned after I shot 2 rounds thru it to see if it went away. I sort of don't think it's copper. What are your thoughts?

Don't suppose you looked at it prior to shooting it? Looks like you should have felt it during cleaning the first time. I'd think it would have snagged a patch if it was there prior to shooting.
 
Hmm, if a new barrel, is this a chrome moly barrel?? I wonder if it is a rust spot, it sort of looks like what I have seen in my Bergara. I had cleaned it with Bore Tech Carbon cleaner and put several dry patches down the bore to remove residue and put back in the safe.. A week later I went to shoot it and noticed rust on the thread cap, borescoped it and found rust spots in the barrel. It required me using JB Bore Paste to remove it.
