Description
When you own a .22 or a .25, you go through patches fast, and running out mid-cleaning is a special kind of annoying. This bag of 1,000 from Birchwood Casey fixes that. They're made from 100% cotton with a cross-weave pattern that gives the fabric a little bite, so it grabs carbon and fouling on the way through the bore instead of just sliding past it. The weave also keeps them lint-free, which matters when the last thing you want is stray fibers hanging up inside your barrel.
What These Birchwood Casey Patches Handle
The patches are 1-1/8 inch squares, sized for .22 through .25 caliber bores and chambers. That covers a lot of ground: rimfire plinkers, .223/5.56 rifles, .243, and similar. Because the material is highly absorbent, each patch holds a good amount of oil for coverage or soaks up solvent for the grimier jobs, so you're not fighting a dry patch that skips over the fouling.
Getting the Most From the .22-.25 Cal Patches
A thousand-count bag lasts a long time even if you clean often, and folks who shoot bigger calibers sometimes buy these too because a square patch is easy to fold or trim to fit a smaller jag. Run a wet patch first to loosen things up, follow with a brush, then push dry patches through until they come out clean. Simple, and these do exactly what a cleaning patch should.
Bottom line, this is a no-fuss consumable that earns its spot in the range bag or on the bench. American-made, plenty in the bag, and priced to be a stock-up item rather than something you ration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers do these Birchwood Casey cleaning patches fit?
They're sized for .22 through .25 caliber bores and chambers, which covers rimfire .22, .223/5.56, .243, and similar. The 1-1/8 inch square shape is also easy to fold down for a snugger fit on the smaller end of that range.
Can I use these patches on a caliber bigger than .25?
You can, though a 1-1/8 inch square is on the small side for larger bores and may not fill the barrel as tightly. Some folks still keep these around for spot cleaning and general wipe-downs since a square patch is versatile. If a larger firearm is your main gun, a bigger patch size will seat better on the jag.
Are these patches lint-free?
Yes. The cross-weave cotton is designed to stay lint-free, so you're not leaving stray fibers behind in the bore. That cross-weave also gives the fabric more scrubbing grip on carbon and fouling.
How long will a 1,000-count bag last?
For most people this is a stock-up-and-forget purchase. Even cleaning regularly, a bag of a thousand tends to last a very long time, which makes it a better value than grabbing small packs over and over.
