Last batch was undersized

I've used these for 2-3 years now and mostly have been very happy. However the last batch I ordered was undersized. Previous batches the swab was just snug in the chamber and tight in the barrel, this latest batch was loose in the chamber and not tight enough in the barrel to really clean the rifling grooves. It's possible I just got a bad batch as I've had good luck with them in the past, but they are very expensive to not have them work.

Last batch didn't swabs came apart

I've used these in 9mm and .45 for a couple years now and mostly have been pleased but the last batch in 9mm and .45 had issues. In the case of the .45 swabs one of two things happened. Either the head would come apart in the transition from the chamber to the barrel, or it would come apart on the first pass backward from crown to chamber. In the past with previous batches neither was ever a problem. It's possible I just got a bad batch as previous batches have been okay, but it is concerning the 9mm batch I recently bought had issues as well being undersized. With the .45 especially they are very expensive for only 100 of them so to have half or more fail is unimpressive.
