I use the Pro Shot patches as well. I use 1 1/4 inch square patches. they fit the bore tighter and helps clean a little better IMHO.

More Patchworm Patches

I had both by damn patchworms fail in the same weekend, using patches I bought from patchworm.
I prefer the crown saver and will never order another patchworm.

JL Crown Saver
Barrel cleaning tool for pulling patches. Lewis' Crownsaver has become the standard by which all others are measured. It is just a plain good design and is one of the tools every Airgunner needs in his bag of tricks. Find a fold technique and patch size to match the bore and you can clean...

I forgot to reply after using these but they work perfectly on the patchworm system! No rips and the size was perfect for .22 cal
I can see why you'd wanna use a crown saver, you wouldn't need special patches. If the nub on my patchworm breaks I'd consider the crown saver next.

Seeing some comments about the Patchworm patches. You don’t need specific patches to use a Patchworm. And you don’t need tiny ones like they provide. I use some random Hoppes patches that are probably 2x2. I also don’t like the fabric ones that tear. These are a tight woven polyester or something, so the pull doesn’t come through. I think the Patchworm cleans way better than the Crownsaver due to the ability to get pressure against the wall better.
I use regular cotton cleaning patches from most gun shops or Wally World and cut them to fit, as far as Patch Worm cleaning kits go I have two of their kits for cleaning my .177 and .22 cal. air rifles, I've been using them for a couple of years now and they're still working great, I highly recommend them.

I got you. Send me a PM. I’ll send you a 30” model for free if it will work for you. I don’t care for them. I prefer my Patchworms and will never use it.

Something is amiss. Literally any patch should work if cut to the correct size ? Try making what you have a little smaller and repeat. Spray a little balistol in the barrel first as it will act as a lubricant for that first patch.

I use an old cotton white sock. Has some texture to it. I cut in into large narrow triangles.

Well that's not professional..lol.
Professional. A person who has to spend lots a money to do what the guy next to him does for near free .. professional.
Though i do prefer store bought patches ( big cheap walmar bag of .270 size , fits .177 & .22). But don't think for a minute I won't and will stoop down to to cutting scrap cloth or paper towels. Also if after I use a patch if it don't look that dirty I'll reuse it till I think it is too dirty..

I get patches on Amazon. 7/8 inch for .177 ans 1.0 inch for 22and.25. Comes in a 1000 pc bag $6 or $8.

The reason I started the thread was because I was thinking the same thing and got those cheap Walmart bulk .177/.22 patches but they rip when I use the patchworm since it is designed to poke a hole then has that crimped part to hold the patch on. It worked til I pulled it through the barrel. The patch would get stuck right at the breach and only the patchworm line would pull through.
With a crownsaver yeah I can't see why there'd be an issue with any kind of patch since you don't have to poke a hole for the line to run through it just gets folded in half and pulled through on the loop.
Since I also am cheap and didn't want to waste my Walmart bulk patches I would very slowly and carefully run the cleaning rod down the muzzle then when the patch holder came out the breach I'd put one through the slot then pull out the muzzle end. It got annoying cause I have big hands and the breach is not wide on these airguns so I was using pliers to feed the patch onto the holder.
Patchworm is way easier and I am really glad for the Amazon link to those patches because those are woven and stronger than the Walmart patches and do not rip out. I can even put a couple together to get it super tight to the rifling and clean better, then flip around to use the other side and they still don't rip out!
