Alot of y'all probably know this one already, but Grocery stores are a ready source for cheap cleaning swabs. In the makeup section of most stores they sell "Quilted cotton squares"... you can get about 160 of these in a package for less than $2 and they make great cleaning patches for BP guns. They can be made to fit as tight as you want and they are quite absorbent.

They also come in "rounds" but I prefer the squares as most of my guns are .45 and I'll tear off a coupla' corners for a better fit.

Also, for other .45 cal shooters, a 28 guage shotgun brushis a very good fit (much better than the .410 sized one I was using before.

HH All!
