Make short work of big-bore cleaning. The Breakthrough Clean Technologies Square Cotton Patches (3" x 3") deliver maximum surface area and low-lint absorbency to wipe out plastic wad streaks, carbon, lead, and moisture in 12–16 gauge shotgun barrels. Whether you’re running clays every weekend or coming back from a rainy hunt, this 300-piece value pack keeps your bench stocked with patches sized to cover more bore in fewer passes.

Why These 3" Patches Are a Shotgun Essential

• Perfect for 12–16 gauge bores: The generous 3-inch square provides excellent contact inside smoothbore barrels—ideal for 12 ga and 16 ga with the correct patch holder/loop.

• High-absorbency cotton: Tight-weave cotton holds solvent and oil exceptionally well, lifting residue fast and laying down a thin, even protective film.

• Low-lint finish: Engineered to minimize fibers left behind, helping your bore finish clean and bright.

• Uniform cut & thickness: Consistent drag and full 360° coverage make cleaning more predictable and efficient.

• Range-ready value: 300 patches per pack—a smart stock-up for hunters, clay shooters, and club armorers.

Faster, Cleaner Results for Shotguns

Shotguns build up plastic wad fouling and carbon that can compromise patterns over time. These oversized patches load plenty of solvent and flex into machining marks to lift residue and moisture, helping you restore a consistent, mirror-like bore with fewer passes.

Ideal Uses

• Trap, skeet, and sporting clays: Quick post-round wipe-downs that keep patterns consistent.

• Waterfowl and upland hunts: Remove moisture, grit, and vegetation debris after a day in the field.

• Home-defense & duty shotguns: Routine maintenance to maintain reliability.

• Gunsmith benches & clubs: Bulk pack supports frequent cleanings across multiple guns.

How to Use (Best Practices)

1. Unload & verify safe. Check chamber and magazine tube.

2. Pre-wet the bore. Apply a quality shotgun solvent with a 12–16 ga patch or mop and allow a short dwell.

3. Scrub (optional). Use a nylon or bronze shotgun brush to loosen wad fouling.

4. Patch it clean. Push 3" cotton patches from chamber to muzzle in smooth, full-length strokes until patches come out clean.

5. Protect. Finish with a lightly oiled patch to inhibit corrosion—especially after wet-weather hunts.

Fit Tip: If a patch feels overly tight with a particular holder, switch to a different patch loop/holder or fold the patch once (or trim a corner) to tailor the fit. Rods and holders vary slightly by brand.

Storage & Care

• Keep patches dry and sealed to maintain absorbency.

• Store away from open bottles of solvent or oil to avoid accidental pre-saturation.

• Dispose of used patches responsibly; allow solvent-soaked patches to air out before discarding.
