I think I've hit on the ideal patches for fouling management in my fast twist .45-90. I've used a bunch of different ones, and on my way through Big Timber recently I stopped in at Shiloh and picked up some of their 3" cotton patches. They are a quality patch and since using them I haven't had any fibers come off in the bore which happens with th cheaper stuff.
They hold enough water that my rifle was usually coming clean after only one damp patch. I generally go with two patches, but it's nice to see that I could probably get by with one in a pinch if time was tight.
I just thought I'd mention them in case someone was looking for an improvement.
