Honestly, a bore snake ...is the most "resueable" cleaning product I've seen.../ because they're easy to clean.
...although those wooly swabs like the one you have from Hoppes in your photo...I suppose could be cleaned and dried / although I've never tried it
but if you use the barrel swab you have - with a patch or paper towel ..they'll last for many yrs too.
Like others mentioned - paper towels are ok .../ and I run them thru a 12ga - with a 20ga barrel swab.../ or on a .22 bore brush and run them thru a 9mm or something - and they do ok --- but I'm still buying patches too ( old habit) I guess.
