These were a good value, unless you plan on quitting your shooting hobby, go for the bulk pack. It represents the best value for your money. These work well for oiling the bore and for passing solvent through it as well. However they are no substitute for a good quality (Hoppes) cleaning swab for getting out all of the solvent while cleaning.
Pros: Pre-cut for convenience
Cons: no substitute for a swab at removing excess solvent
