Default gun fowling question

Just a question for you guys, I cleaned my 270 extremely well including brushing before i went hunting this spring, used wipe out several times as well. I took a total of six shots including the site in rounds. I just cleaned it again using wipe out and a light brushing and the patches were black and when i poured wipe out out of the barrel it was actually blue. It took a lot of cleaning to get it back to where i was happy with it again.

My question is, is this a normal amount of fowling or am i perhaps still getting old residue from before? I was shooting a premium ammo, Winchester ballistic tips in 130 gr. It seems a little too dirty to me considering it was only 6 rounds

Seemed like a lot of lead residue on the patches to me, and I had to run a lot of patches.
