Odd patch problem

I used up the last of my 22cal patches on my 22 Creed rifle. They were square if that matters. I ordered 1,000 new patches that are Seal 1 brand round patches. The patches are so tight on my BoreTech jag that they couldn't even be forced into the bore. Hmmmmm

I measured the patch thickness and got .0175". I looked through all of my supplies and found a few old 22cal patches that fit fine. They measured @ .014". Is there a way to pre-determine the patch thickness when I order the next 1,000? Any suggestions on patches?

What a ridiculous problem?
 
Still using up the bundles of patches left over from days of yore. I got these in fairly large quantity from the good folks at Hart's in PA when they still sold everything a shooter could want. They're cotton flannel, soft on one side & all are .015" thick. Some more commonly used sizes were dwindling a few years back so I got a couple thousand bargain brand from ... somewhere... & they were .020". Off center works OK sometimes, but these were just too thick. They sit in the land of misfit toys until maybe I get something in 8mm.

So far "Pro-Shot" patches all seem to be c .015" thick, so they get my $$.
