It slides through without contacting the rifling properly, comes out looking clean because it never touched anything, and convinces you the barrel is finished when it is not. A patch that is too large jams. On a tight bore it can stop dead mid-barrel with a rod behind it, and getting it out is an unpleasant afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe right size grips the bore firmly enough to scrub and to carry solvent to the surface, while still moving under steady hand pressure. You should feel resistance, not a fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are the smaller of the two square patch sizes, intended for smaller-diameter bores. Square patches wrap more evenly around a jag than round ones and are less inclined to fold over on themselves, which is what causes a patch to come off in the barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold in hundreds because that is the realistic consumption rate — a proper clean on a fouled barrel will use a dozen or more, and reusing patches simply drags fouling back into the bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck Bore Tech's sizing chart against your calibre before ordering; the size that is correct for a 6mm is not correct for a .30.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bore Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43019640897607,"sku":"BTPT-118-S100","price":5.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/8250\/4519\/files\/4323_source_1736215356__86770.jpg?v=1785358690","url":"https:\/\/extremestore.us\/products\/cleaning-patches-square-1-1-8-in-100-count","provider":"The Extreme Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
