My supply was running low so I bought a large package of "Hoppe's 9" Bulk Cotton Gun Cleaning Patches (500 count). The package says .38 to .45 caliber, but they don't fit in my .357 Ruger! These are linen-like with fuzzy edges.
I just called their 800 number and the guy said they will fit if I "wrap one around a brush" or other cleaning wand, with perhaps an extra twist if it's not thick enough (or something like that). He said the 500 count package has their new type patches, while the 40 count still has the older synthetic style, which is what I believe I had before. Anyway, I did a search and found the 40 packs at Dick's Sporting Goods, on Happy Valley in north Phoenix off I-17. Also at some online stores, but I want to have a look at hem before I buy.
