What cleaning patches do cheap-skate shooter use? I've been using the $6-bag of cotton patches from Wallymart, but is there a cheaper and better alternative?
that sounds rather tedious
This....cutting patches is just another aspect of this hobby.
FWIW - used to use those. Unless something's changed and the bag is marked cotton they ain't cotton. When using them before they were so non-absorbent as to be almost useless.What cleaning patches do cheap-skate shooter use?

Old cotton T-shirts...there is nothing softer and more absorbent.
I can cut accurate-size patches for any caliber I'm cleaning in seconds. I also wrap all my handguns in old cotton shirts and T-shirts so they don't bump in storage or on the way to the range. I also cut up old cotton shirts, T-shirts, and towels for cleaning rags.
