.30 cal patches

Perfect! Just like I've used for years and they are superior to others. Just cut as needed for smaller calibers. Great service and delivery too. Thank you Brownells!

Works Fine!!

I bought enough to share with my two boys, enough for all. I have even used cut up T shirts when I needed patches.

Best for pull through, breech to muzzle

I use them with an Otis pull through cleaning kit. They are stronger than most other patches. that works very well with a pull through. I use them for .45 .44 .357 .32 and .30 cal as is. I quarter them for .22 Could go a little bigger for .22 if a tighter patch is needed. They clean really well. Some threads fray off the edges. Not a problem for me. Just check to make sure you leave no threads behind in barrel ect. Of course.

SIZED FOR LOOPS NOT JAGS!

If you are like me and only looked at the caliber these patches were made for and incorrectly assumed they worked with a jag of that caliber then you are going to be disappointed. I am leaving 5 stars because of the quality of the fabric and when I cut them to size for a jag they work splendidly. However I do think that Sinclair needs to put a disclaimer on the description of this that these are not the appropriate size patch to be used with a jag. This is an enormous number of patches to have to cut with scissors to work and is a huge waste of time. Again, when either coupled with a loop as people mentioned in the reviews, or cut to size for a jag they work well.

Great

I have used thess for years in my AR-15s. I also use them for my 45 ACP Pistols. Work great.

Perfect with a Dewey Jag

I was a bit leery of ordering these after reading that they did not fit well in the bore. I ordered some anyway and was pleasantly surprised to find that when coated with solvent and rolled onto a Dewey Jag, they fit the bore perfectly. Sure some of the end strands of thread unraveled but that is the nature of the beast. These will be all I order from now on for cleaning my .223 rifle bores.

.223 Mil Spec Patches

I have used these for years in and out of the military in all situations. They have fabric texture on one side and soft on the other, by design. They have always frayed at the ends, easy to dispose of, no big deal. Correct size for .223 that I have always used is 1.25 inches, never had a problem in any ARs with these. These do a fine job, better than other types..

Best 5.56mm Patch

.22 Patch is too small to adequately clean the 5.56mm barrels, these are just right.....

GREAT PATCHES

Good for cleaning anything .30 and up. I use them in my 30 cal rifles, 9mm pistols, 45 pistols and you can even use them in 12ga with a 12ga jag

THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT

In my years in the military and cleaning everything from M1 Garands, M14 to M16 I never used a jag to clean my equiptment, always used the loop. The loop was standard equipment issue. So if these are GI "issue" it stand to reason that they are for the loop only. Hey, you are getting twice the patches for the money when you cut them up. Happy safe shooting.
