I have bag of Hoppe brand square cotton cleaning patches sized for .22-.270 calibers. After using them successfully for a while I am now finding that they don’t fit in my .22LR pistols. Upon inspecting the remaining patches I find two different kinds in the bag. Some are thinner and some thicker. Obviously it is the thicker ones which jam in the barrels. Same jag as I always use. So I ordered another bag of them, and sure enough I got all thick ones. I’m betting the thicker ones work fine with a slotted type jag or whatever you call it. I use the pointed kind.
All I’m wondering is whether anyone can recommend a thinner or smaller brand of patches that still work with .22 caliber pointed jags. I can get KleenBore from Amazon. Should I? I could trim a little material off the patches I have with a scissors, but is it worth the trouble.
