It's here some place, just do not know how to find it.

Might do a search for it.
 
Patch sizes for loading are not even a consideration for those who cut at the muzzle. Nor is it a factor at all providing it is large enough to seal the ball. Oversize patches do not affect accuracy. If you want a size, cut at muzzle, retrieve after shooting and measure.
 
30-39 7/8"

40-49 1 1/8"

50-54 1 3/8"

For those who make their own, a .45 is the same size as the old Goex powder can cap.

50-54 is the same size as a 35mm film container
 
Cutting patches in pistol matches wastes time, especially in Limited Time Fired matches.
 
I saved lot of them. Tape 2 of them together and you can mark patch material 2 at a time.
 
I have one out in the shed. I put a couple cotton balls in it and then added "cow-in-heat" scent to it. When I set up on a bugling bull I would just take the cap off and set it nearby.
Knowing me it still has that in it. I'd let it go for cheap. :ghostly: 🤣
