[QUOTE="justinp61, post: 2247838, member: 35795"] I cut the line about 2 1/2 times the length of my longest barrel and tie a knot in it to make a large loop. At the end opposite of the knot I’ll pinch it with a pair of pliers, this is where the patch will ride. My patches are made out of cotton rags, like t shirt material. Run the pinched down end into the bore from the muzzle until it comes out the breech. Then fold your patch over the line and pull it through. Experiment with patch size to fit snug in the bore. Normally I’ll cut the line long and hang it with a heavy weight on it to take the twist out. It’s not necessary but makes it more user friendly. On my rimfires if a carbon ring starts to develop I’ll pull a solvent soaked patch into the throat and let it sit over night to soften the carbon. It has worked well. [/QUOTE]
