Has anyone successfully bought and received any of these lately? Like in the last couple of months? Thanks in advance. WD

Last batch I got wouldn’t absorb cleaning solution, just beaded up or rolled off. Pretty much useless unless you soaked them.

I've had this same issue with my latest batch of Proshot and Butches patches. Solvent just beads up. I'm running low on the good ones.

The ones I received in late June arrived quickly, plus some samples of other sizes. They seem to take solvents at least as well as all my other patch brands. That is to say that water based cleaners bead up on the surface, then soak in. Oil based soak right in.

He is back to using USA flannel so the new patches should work well. About a year or so ago I complained about the patches not absorbing solvents and he sent me several different types to test. the 2 best were a USA flannel and a heavy Chinese version. He chose the USA and I think he made a good choice.

I cut 2" square patches diagonal.
Gives me twice the patches and works somewhat like the triangle ones just does not have the fancy tip shapes.
IMHO. Works great for my 6mm. Just right. YMMV
I cut them into 4ths for 22 use.

I had that same issue with a variety of of patches including BoreTech’s own and now I just add a touch of CLP to the center of patch where the jag comes through and then the other {water based BoreTech stuff} goes right in…. acts like a wetting agent.
Works a treat..!

Placed an order before Christmas. Just got shipping notification today. Very slow shipping in my opinion.

I do the same. Bought a huge box of them at a gun show. They were called "government surplus". 2x2 squares i cut down to whatever size i need. Still have 2 or 3 thousand. Wish I'd bought another box full as cheap as they were!

I placed an order just before New Years, looking forward to trying the jags/patches.

My order came in the mail yesterday, they included a free sample pack of patches(all the different calibers) and a sample bottle of their non water/petroleum bore cleaner.
