Stuck Cleaning Patch

Gentlemen, some of you may have had this happen to you already and know how to solve the problem, but if not, here is what I did and thought I would pass it along. Today a fellow showed up with a patch stuck in his rifle barrel on the end of a bore snake type cleaner (plastic coated cable). He had pulled and pushed and twisted and could not get it loose. nothing I had could hook it, it was in a 22-250, and then I rememberd a patch puller from my black powder days. Put on the cleaning rod and twisted it into the stuck patch several turns, pulled and out it came. Also, one more reason I like Dewey cleaning rods.
