I hope I'm not the only one that buys precut cleaning patches, some that are treated with cleaner and some that are dry. Being I only shoot a couple of times a month during the nicer seasons, it's not a big deal, but I always clean when I get home. I'm sure if I had someone to compete with when shooting or visit with, I would probably shoot more often but the only one I've got to impress is myself. I buy the material to make square patches, but I use some store bought ones too, that are already precut. I realize we all try and save money in different ways, some stuff we do out of a love for what we're doing, but from what I've got invested in muzzleloaders and equipment like ball dischargers and range rods, what cleaning patches I buy seems like pretty small potatoes, for it does appear that I'm not going to last Any longer than the money will, So it's nice to have some stuff ready to go. I do cast my own round balls, which I do enjoy doing, but I only need so many on hand.
