I don’t use any solvent in 22LR. Shouldn’t be a need to.
spray or liquid? Id imagine the liquid lasts longer whereas the spray is easier to apply.

I have some but it has been quite difficult to find here. Making me wonder if there isn't something equally good but more-readily available. If Ballistol was the optimum product I would've expected that they'd have sorted an Ozzie distributor before now.
Iv'e never had any problem obtaining Ballistol produts from BRT in Brisbane.

Ballistol also make an excellent bore cleaning solvent, available from, BRT of course.

Does that help?

Simply chucking them in the bin in general waste would not be the smartest thing to do either.
Zappa wrote:I collect my oil, coolant and take it to the SCA bins or to the refuse centre for recycling. I'll do the same for the patches. Regardless of quantity and the amount of residual lead, copper and carbon, It's just the right thing to do.

I see guys bashing overly tight patches down their barrel when using pre cut patches. If I find my first patch too loose I cut the next one a bit bigger until I get it right.
Zappa wrote:Lol. I understand the physics behind that.
However the most optimum cleaning methodology in the bore , would be to have the patch contact the whole area across the jag head which translates to the most contact area in the bore when you push the rod through.
Bunching up the patch creating mini pleats across the circumference of the jag seems less than optimal .
