    Hoppes precut patches

    Morning All

    I have been using the hoppes precut square cleaning patches on the rare times I show my rifles any true care.
    But I bought a new pack the other day and they seem to be made from a different material and I now having to use 2 patches instead of 1 to get a good fit as well.
    I know I've bought the right size for the calibre (.243), so has anyone else noticed this problem lately?

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    yes on a jag. The old pack I had, the material was a little thicker, and I could only push one patch through, that's why its so strange that this new packet is so different.

    They must have changed something, eh? I use round ones that you put over the end of a jag spike and push thru. They seem to vary in resistance from time to time but generally do a good job.
    TBH I have no idea what brand they are.
