Been looking for a bore mop for a .25cal but can't find the right size. Can someone help me with the correct size needed?
Bore mop size?

I bought a .25 caliber from my local gun store, and it works a-ok. I would have bought it at Walmart, but they were out of stock.

What are you guys using now, these links are no longer good.
This is the only thing I can find, but they say 22 and 25

I have Googled, thanks. Brownells, Midway also. And searched the forum, and only came up with this thread.
The only make a .264 or a .224.
I am seeking someone that knows of something closer to .25

I guess its how tight or loose the fit is between brands .. .22, .243 or .270 maybe even a .30. like patches i just buy .270 ( i think) and use them in a .177 no issues on my patchworm string thing
Like this one claims for .22 to .27 cal so a .25 is right in the middle .

Use the size under if you can't find your exact caliber. Bore mops are quite forgiving in size. So use .22. It will work just fine.
FWIW, I hate bore mops. They do a good job of cleaning, but they get loaded with fouling and crud quite quickly. And then trying to clean them while they are loaded up with oily lead dust is a pain. No really worth it, IMO. Patches are the way to go to keep everything clean since they are disposable.

Thanks. I have a PP700SA 25 cal conversion. The barrel groups aren't great so I am going to do a polish on it. I've done it in the past with 22 cal, but this will be the first 25. I use patchworm for regular cleaning

I have a Tipton bore set up for 25, worked perfectly. I’ll add a photo when I get back home.

@Florida_Man I saw one labeled .25 when I bought a larger one recently at Wally’s World. They were going for a little under $3 for one mop and one bore brush.
