I know how you feel. Had a 30 cal. patch jam in my Rem. 700 LTR 308 cal. to a point I had to cut the handle off my one piece Dewey rod and slowly pound it out. If the patch is listed from 270 - 30 Cal. it should work, but they don't. I now use a 1 1/4 square cotton patch listed for 223 & 6mm. With the 30 cal. Dewey rod & jag it works fine. I buy pre cut patches so I don't have to use sissors. One size don't fit all.
