Brownells Heavy Duty Square Cotton Patches, 3'', 16/12 Ga, 1000 Pk

Brownells Heavy Duty Square Cotton Patches are built for serious bore cleaning—especially when you're working through heavy fouling or carbon buildup. These 3-inch patches are cut to fit 16 and 12 gauge shotguns, and the double-thick construction means you'll spend less time swapping patches and more time shooting. Made from soft-napped 100% cotton Canton flannel, they hold and absorb more solvent per patch than standard-weight alternatives, so you're not constantly reaching for fresh ones when tackling a truly dirty bore.

A thousand-pack is the working shooter's sweet spot: enough to stock your cleaning kit, your truck, and your buddy's range bag without breaking the bank. Whether you're running a fowling gun through the mud, deep-cleaning after heavy hunting season, or maintaining a collection, heavy-duty patches let you work efficiently without compromising cleaning performance. The double-nap weave won't shred or leave fibers behind—just solid contact with your bore and reliable solvent delivery.

If you've ever cursed thin patches that fall apart mid-stroke or slip through the bore, or felt the frustration of burning through a hundred patches on one gun, these are your answer. Brownells has stuck with proven materials and honest construction here—nothing fancy, just patches that work harder and last longer in your bore.
