I have had good luck with OX-YOKE WONDER PATCHES. They are pre lubed with Wonderlube 1000 and come in .010 and .015 inch thickness.

One of the most well established industry leaders is OxYoke...they make / market them under their own name of course, and they make them for companies like TC Arms to market under the TC label also.

So by and large, if you find pre-packaged, precut, prelubed shooting patches, they were probably made by OxYoke, and are normally available in plain cotton or the stronger pillow ticking in several thicknesses.

I started with prelubed .015" cotton but have gradually switched everything over to .018" pillow ticking

 

Ox-Yote pre-lubed pillow-tickers (also packaged by T/C) are the only ones that'll withstand the heat of FFF 777 powder. This is the only time I praise Bore Butter/Wonder Lube... otherwise everybody knows my infamous line when I speak about it.....

Out of all of these, my favorite is simply, bulk pillow ticking...

I agree, and it goes along way for what you pay for it... Works great too!!!

CVA sells a pre-lubed .015 patch that works really good.
They load aweful easy in a clean bore and accuracy is poor on the first shot.
Swabbing between shots is not needed and accuracy really improves as the bore gets fouled.
I use them on the range when I light up 20 or more shots in a session because I don't have to swab.
For clean bore/first shot accuracy I go with bulk pillow ticking lubed with my crisco/beeswax lube.
