Southern Bloomer has been making cotton knit cleaning patches out of Bristol, Tennessee since the early 1980s, and the .50 caliber version is a go-to for anyone running a big-bore rifle, handgun, or muzzleloader. Each bag holds 500 patches, so whether you shoot regularly or just want a stash that lasts, this pack covers a lot of cleaning sessions. The patches are knit rather than woven, which is the whole reason they behave differently from the bargain-bin squares.
The knit cotton construction means there are no cut edges fraying into loose threads, and the material runs virtually lint free. That matters more than it sounds. Anyone who has pulled a patch back out of the bore only to find little fibers clinging to the rifling knows how annoying that is. These don't leave strings hanging off the jag, so you get a cleaner pass and a clearer read on how much fouling is left.
These are sized for .50 caliber bores, which puts them right in the sweet spot for large-bore rifles and the .45 to .54 muzzleloader crowd. Wrap one over a jag, add your solvent, and swab out carbon and powder residue, then follow up with a dry patch to check your progress. Black powder shooters know a muzzleloader can foul fast, sometimes after a single shot, so having a big bag of dependable patches on hand keeps a proper cleaning routine easy instead of a chore.
Southern Bloomer products turn up in gun shops, police departments, military armories, and plenty of home gun cabinets, and they've earned that reputation the old-fashioned way by just working. For the price and the count, a bag of these is one of those quiet workhorse supplies you'll be glad is sitting in your cleaning kit.
Yes, .50 caliber patches like these are well suited to muzzleloaders in the .45 to .54 range as well as large-bore rifles and handguns. Muzzleloaders can foul quickly with black powder, so keeping a big bag of dry patches handy makes routine swabbing simple. Just wrap one over your jag with your solvent of choice and run it down the bore.
These are knit rather than cut from woven cloth, so there are no frayed edges leaving strings or threads behind in your bore. The knit cotton is also virtually lint free, which means fewer stray fibers snagging on the rifling or jag. That gives you a cleaner pass and a more accurate read on how much fouling is left.
Each bag contains 500 patches. For most shooters that's a long-lasting supply that covers many cleaning sessions before you need to reorder, which is part of why this size is so popular with regular shooters and hunters.
You can use them either way. Run them dry to check the bore or apply a light coat of oil for storage, or add your favorite solvent for scrubbing out carbon and powder residue. A common approach is a wet patch to loosen fouling followed by a dry one to finish.
