What patches do you use? Do you make them or buy pre-cut ones?
I've been using pre-cut patches for convenience but boy how they prices have increased since my last purchase!!!

If you use the right size jag you only need one size patch ......And I just go in to spotlight every 5 or so years and buy 3 odd meters of flannelette ..... something with lines on it makes it easy to cut up .......

A bloke from the Benchrest club sells his own on eBay. I am very happy with the price and quality.

FWIW I usually use a jag 2 cal’s smaller and double patch. Certainly gets more shit out of my barrels.

I'm working my way through the stack of old flannelette nappies for both bore patches and stock rubbing.
