I have used the 1 1/8 patches and they work fine. Just shot the .204 today and run it in. The first shot was a flyer after just cleaning the rifle. The 5 shots measured 3/4 ". The last 4 of the 5 shots fit under a 5 cent piece at 100 yards. I love my Cooper and am ready for the next one-just go...

What size patches for .204

I was wondering if anybody can recommend the size of patches to use for the cooper .204 and what brush is better, nylon or brass? I use a pro-shot patch 1 1/8 inch square for the .223. Any advice or heads up would be appreciated. :D

Re: cooper rifles?
