Southern Bloomer 130 Cotton Cleaning Patches for 30 Cal - 175 Count Bag

A quality rifle cleaning patch is one of those small investments that pays dividends every time you run a rod through your barrel. The Southern Bloomer 130 Cotton Cleaning Patches for 30 Cal come in a 175-count bag — enough to keep you stocked through seasons of regular maintenance without constantly restocking. Southern Bloomer has been manufacturing cotton knit patches since 1978, and their reputation for reliability has made them a fixture in gun cabinets, police departments, and military armories across the country. These patches are engineered to work effectively with standard 30-caliber cleaning rods and bore solvents.

What sets cotton cleaning patches apart from cheaper alternatives is their durability and consistency. You need a patch that won't shred, separate, or leave lint and fibers in your bore — those can interfere with accuracy and create additional cleanup headaches. Southern Bloomer patches are designed to hold together through repeated passes, meaning fewer patches wasted and more efficient cleaning sessions. Whether you're doing routine maintenance after a range day, preparing a rifle for storage, or breaking in a new barrel, having the right patch matters.

A 175-count bag gives you genuine depth for your cleaning kit. That's not a handful of patches; it's a practical supply that lasts. The 30-caliber size fits standard .308, .30-06, and other 30-cal rifle bores, making them a versatile choice for hunters and shooters with multiple rifles. Keep a bag in your range bag, another in your cleaning kit at home, and you'll have patches when you need them.
