Frequently Asked Questions Are these patches suitable for both 12 and 16 gauge? Yes. According to the manufacturer, No. 5 patches are intended for 16 and 12 gauge smoothbore firearms. Can the patches be used with bore cleaning agents? Yes. You can apply a suitable cleaning agent or gun oil for smoothbore firearms to the patch. How many patches are needed for one cleaning? The amount depends on how dirty the firearm is. Use new patches until the patch coming out of the bore is sufficiently clean and dry. Do the patches remove heavy plastic or lead fouling by themselves? The patch can remove loose and cleaning agent-dissolved fouling. For heavier fouling, you may need an appropriate brush and specialized cleaning agent. When are Hoppe’s 16/12 cleaning patches the right choice? Choose these patches for regular maintenance of 12 or 16 gauge smoothbore hunting or sporting shotguns. For smaller caliber smoothbore or rifled firearms, use a narrower patch. If the goal is to remove heavy plastic wad, lead, or gunpowder fouling, combine the patches with a suitable brush and fouling-dissolving cleaning agent. We recommend Before maintenance, ensure the firearm is completely unloaded and all ammunition is removed from the cleaning area. If possible, remove the barrel according to the firearm’s manual. Apply cleaning agent moderately to the patch and push the patch through the bore in one direction. Do not force multiple patches into the bore at once, as an overly tight cleaning set may get stuck. After wet cleaning, use dry patches until the bore is clean. For storage, you can leave a thin layer of oil on the surface. Before using the firearm, remove excess oil and make sure there are no patches, bristles, or other obstructions in the bore. Patches in the right size for smoothbore firearm maintenance Hoppe’s 16/12 cleaning patches offer a simple solution for cleaning two common smoothbore calibers. The pack of 25 patches is a great addition to the regular maintenance kit of a hunting or sporting shotgun.
