The Hoppe's 1205 synthetic cleaning patches deliver consistent bore cleaning performance for 12 and 16 gauge shotguns. These #5 size patches resist tearing and maintain their shape during aggressive scrubbing, ensuring thorough removal of powder residue and fouling.
What Makes This Different
Unlike cotton patches that can shred and leave fibers in the bore, these synthetic patches maintain structural integrity throughout the cleaning process. The non-woven synthetic material absorbs solvents effectively while resisting breakdown from aggressive cleaning chemicals. Each patch provides uniform thickness for consistent contact with bore surfaces, eliminating the inconsistent cleaning results common with natural fiber alternatives.
Key Features
- Synthetic non-woven material resists tearing and chemical breakdown
- #5 size specifically engineered for 12 and 16 gauge shotgun bores
- Superior solvent absorption without fiber shedding
- Uniform thickness ensures consistent bore contact
- 25 patches per pack for multiple cleaning sessions
- Compatible with all standard cleaning rods and jags
- Chemical resistant construction works with all bore solvents
These patches excel in field cleaning situations where reliability matters most. The synthetic construction prevents patch failure mid-cleaning, eliminating the frustration of extracting torn material from the bore. Competition shooters rely on the consistent performance for match preparation, while hunters appreciate the durability during season-long maintenance routines. The material's resistance to harsh solvents makes these patches suitable for deep cleaning sessions involving copper removers and aggressive degreasers.
