Frequently Asked Questions
Can these patches be used with both Hoppe's No. 9 solvent and other cleaning products?
Yes. Hoppe's cotton cleaning patches are made from highly absorbent, solvent-resistant cotton that works effectively with Hoppe's No. 9 bore cleaner, Hoppe's Elite, and virtually any other gun-cleaning solvent or lubricant on the market. They are a universal tool in your cleaning kit.
Are these patches reusable, or should they be discarded after a single pass?
For best results and to avoid reintroducing fouling into the bore, Hoppe's cleaning patches are designed for single-use passes. Use a fresh patch for each wet solvent pass and again for the final dry wipe. With 25 patches per pack, you have plenty for multiple complete cleaning sessions.
What size jag or loop tip should I use with these patches?
These patches are sized for 12 and 16 gauge shotgun bores. Use a 12-gauge or 16-gauge brass or polymer jag tip on your cleaning rod for a snug, effective fit. A tight fit ensures the patch makes full contact with the bore walls, maximizing fouling removal and oil application.
