I want a more tight fit for 308 sized cleaning patches so they clean better.

Who makes such a beast and in a quality material?

I'd say you'd want something 1.75" to 2". 2" will allow you to trim to find the fit you want. One brand of jag will vary from the next brand. Some barrels will seem to run tighter then others. Hard to say what exact size patch will work best for you. Find a small pack of bigger than needed patches. Trim to fit to your liking. Buy those size patches.

Got them, tried them and still way too lose. I have to use 3 patches to end up with a tight enough fit, so I suppose that's one solution.

The quality does seem to be pretty high.

You are using the wrong jag.  I have those special patches that fit perfectly.  Even a square of t-shirt material is tight. I use a Dewey rod with the .30 cleaning jag.

100% double nap cotton flannel patches, color white.

lots of places sell them. Midway Oxi-Oak, Pro Shot, Dewy, etc.

Material and size (1.75sq) is more important than "Brand" name.

I used to goto the sewing supply shop for patches. Cut them to size using a paper cuter. Now I just buy in bulk.

used with a 30 cal brass jag from dewey and midway brand, loop requires 2 patches never that tight. Have wrapped a patch around a worn brush and used that in a pinch.

I use nothing but 12ga cotton patches.  For .30 cal I cut them in half.
