Question Is this normal?

Shot the Escort for the first time today. 100rds total with 50 being Remington 230gr ball and 50 PPU 230gr ball.

My question is with the PPU ammo. I noticed that I had "shavings" of brass or plating from the bullet in the pistol after being fired. See crappy pics below, the gold specs are the shavings. I inspected the brass and did not see anything out of the ordinary. No dents, no scrapes, no tears, no bulges, ect...they looked normal.

I thought it was the extractor causing it but, I see no signs of damage on the casings.

Never seen this before although I don't shoot a lot of PPU ammo. So, is this normal or should I look into something?
