The reason being the gilding metal used in cup and core bullets is far harder than what the monolithic bullets are made from. So in essence the monolithic’s riding on the different composition metal actually have more of their softer copper stripped off and hence seem to foul faster.
As a matter of fact any time I change up which bullet I’m going to shoot, I’ll do a deep clean and remove all fouling including the copper fouling.

Mono bullets and cup and core are of course different when it comes to cleaning ,and I am also not flip flopping the bullets of a different brands .
But when foiling the barrel for a mono bullets ,which are usually Barnes TSXs or TTSXs for me mostly , I've foiled it many times with Sierras 4-5 shots and another 2-3 with Barnes and it did work a bit better then just foiling with a mono at the beginning.
