Patchworm?
Thanks GKU for http://www.patchworm.com/
But what do you use for the 25 cal? The 22 cal is not tight at all in the 25.
Or do you just use the patches ? And not the felt buttons??

The PatchWorm for the.177 cal blue, yes that is sold separately.
Turned out to be a bit on the very loose side in my CZ barrel.
I believe it’s because of the .177 being a smallest cal, the different size chock variation in the brand of barrels affected.
So I found a nylon tubing that is .156″ ID x .106″ x .025″ wall thickness.
It’s the same size of the .20 cal Cleaning head, BUT don’t use that it’s too tight for the .177 barrels.
Cut it to .156″ long the blue cord fits inside very loosely so when pulled through it compresses the soft nylon tube enough to go thought tightly and not get stuck.
I also slightly chamfered all the edge off the Cleaning heads to get it to transition into the breech end easier.
Also if for any reason(s) (like using the 25 cal Cleaning head to clean a 22 cal) don’t panic.
Just reverse the cord out through the breech end and push the Cleaning head with patch out with a wooden dowel.
Other tips maybe in time I also found syphon tubes from old spray bottles that fit better in the larger cals. But measure wisely don’t go to large, just by a couple 100’s at a time until your satisfied with the tightness.
When field cleaning I use a dry patch followed by a plan felt button saturated with Ballistol. Pull through and if needed again change out the dry patch only and pull through again.
Also by placing the cocking lever off the edge to hold it from closing. You’d don’t want to accidentally fire, it may damage or break off the cocking plate !

p.s. I love my Imppu HST v3 !!!!
Always playing with his worm? 😯
Ville be the one to know….
Like said there are several cleaning heads in the kit. Those cover most cal´s upto 12 gauge Shotgun.
If you need a Worm for a .177 cal you need to order the blue .17 cal Worm separately. The green one works from .20 cal and up.
I thought about the 243 for the 25 but thought I would check before ordering,
I am finding my 25 a like more sensitive to a dirty barrel than the 22,
Thanks

Mike, Are you using the right Cleaning head, there is one for each caliber size ?
In the PatchWorm Pocket Field Kit there is a black button (black Cleaning head) I used for 25 cals or you can get it separately. The 22 cal uses the smaller white one. In some kits the black one has one side colored black on a white body.

Also, I use Plan felts only, in the 25 cal the .243 size work for me !

DO NOT use Super-intensive felts in airgun barrels made for powder burners only !
(with interwoven brass fibers) work like bristle brushes, and are very effective for heavy lead and jacketed bullet fouling when used with conventional solvents.

I just got the patch worm and used the prewet patches on both .22 .25 just fine. Gonna go to Michaels and 1″ hole puncher.
I cut out old white tees. For bigger caliber, I guess just cut bigger patch.

… or you can use the Blue Worm with TWO small (3/4 “) patches after each other to achieve proper pressure. The .17 cal Worm is made for .17 cal Rimfire/CF guns and since our .177 has a bit bigger bore it´s a bit loose fit alone. Good thinking with that .156/4 mm Nylon tubing !
Just a pointer : You should use the Ballistol soaked felt (or patch) FIRST to loosen/lift the goo inside the bore. Then follow with dry patches or felts.
