just finished cleaning my 17hmr took me forevever due to only having big patches

was wondering what you guys are using

i uses butch's patch but only have bigger patches 30 cal

how much do u guys cut off a 22 patch

tks dan
 
Try cutting the 30 cal patches in half and then even smaller if needed. Or if you have an old tshirt laying around, cut it up and you got years worth of every size patch you could ever want.
 
i did use the 30 cal patches but found i cut them either too big or too small

i ended up with approx. 1/2 inch square patches

but would like to get patches for 17
 
What are you using for a patch puller? I have brushes and swabs for 17, but I've never seen a small enough patch puller with 5-40 thread.

I buy the shooters choice big shotgun patches and trim them into squares. Here is another trick though. Buy a box of Q-TIP brand swabs (the economy ones are smaller in diameter and wont work as well) then cut the ends off leaving a little stick behind the end. Push the stick end of the swab into the end of your 17 cal cleaning rod and use the swabs instead of patches. Happy shooting.
 
i will look into sinclair
i just hate wasting time cutting patches
was at epps a few years ago and i picked up a17 cleaning rod and some jags and brushes but did not look into the patches i figured i would cut some but i find it a pain in the rear doing that
