Where's most of you going for cleaning patches at the 2 1/2 to 3" diameter? At the prices I'm seeing you'd think the farmer was getting $5.00 per pound for field cotton!!

My wife bought one of those cricut machines. I buy flannel fabric off the internet or at the local Walmart And cut my own 2.5” round patches

I usually wait for my Midway Birthday discount, then order enough cleaning patches and felt wads to go the year.

$5.00 a pound for field cotton? Crop dusters must have raised the price of applied chemical.

Thanks Don! I'll do that when time rolls around!

Little higher than it was 30 years back for certain!

Garage sales...sewing stores. I buy whenever and Jeanne cuts our patches. I like linen.

Glad I switched to bore wipes, I cut my patch use down 2/3.

Yup,same here.

well guys we shoot 4000.00 rifles and worry about .02 patches me too art

Buy cotton balls and one can clean any caliber firearm they own ...
Walmart - 400 JUMBO count for $3.68 ... https://www.walmart.com/ip/Equate-Beaut ... /280043267
Half a ball is the right size to clean a 45-70

It’s not much fun when the guy using cotton balls sets his patch pan on fire on the middle of a relay

I was in a bind for patches the other day so I chopped up some tampons and carried on.

I hope they were new....

Oughta dry the chamber out well.
