I am trying to find Hoppe's 30 caliber patches to clean a 30.06 but can't seem to find any other than some pretreated ones that are outrageous. I would like to get 100 or more but am not sure what size would be the correct size. I have cleaned the outside with an old shirt, used my last 3 patches to clean out the muzzle as best I could and ran a boresnake through it with some Hoppe's oil on it but want to get it cleaned better. I found these but there is nothing that says 30 cal. on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1240110396/hoppes-cotton-cleaning-patches

Oh I stopped at the only gun shop I could get to and the guy there had no clue what I should use which is why I don't deal with him much, he knows less than I do.

Thanks, if not for the trouble with my hands I would do that but I would rather not go through the hassle. The other problem is after I lost so much weight I gave away all my old shirts so I don't have any raggedy ones. I do thank you for the suggestion though.

When I used to shoot competitive I found a place that sold remnant of cotton cloth, similar to t-shirt material, as a patch. I got a large plastic bag, the pieces were irregular in size but it was dirt cheap. I just checked my cleaning stuff to see if I had left the the paper attachment on the plastic bag but I did not so I can not provide much more info.

That's okay, I am about to get 500 of them for 10.98 and they are the cotton ones, I am just checking around the net to see if I can find them any cheaper. Thank you for trying to help.

How about these:
https://www.amazon.com/Birchwood-Casey-Cleaning-Square-Caliber/dp/B00TD0EK9U/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_200_tr_t_2/140-2962696-9110853?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZZQBYFD3K9V3YGETP03H

Less expensive per patch and free shipping.
See here are some more ... people just need to use search sometimes ...lol...
I did search but there were no cotton ones from Hoppe's there in the amount I wanted and also as I said I was not sure what size to get. Searched on Amazon and on Google.

Thank you very much. I really would like to stick with cotton, I was always told not to use the synthetics but I honestly don't recall the reason why. Also wanted to stick with a brand that I know.
