I myself also use Ramrodz (wooden sticks with caliber specific sized cotton on end) because they are very convenient. I pick up a few bags in 22 cal. then use them in larger bores with a shotgun sized patch. I shoot registered trap every week so I always have a good supply of shotgun size patches.Works perfect with some Ballistol soaked on first one down bore or cylinder chambers. Then a few runs with dry end or patch. Then a wipe down with some rem oil before going back into safe. Some that I do not shoot often get a good application of renaissance wax before being put away.
