Just something I was always wondering about. When you run a patch through a barrel, one side gets real dirty. Is there anything bad about just turning it around and reusing the other side?

I fold my shit paper boxing glove for a clean surface and hit it again.......clean hands, clean ass unless you are a tard.
Always proper timing should be maintained so a full shower follows.
Its never clean until it gets washed with plenty of "solvent".

When I run my last couple of patches through I flip them. By then there is nothing to soak through the patch.
I do the same.
Same here.
I use both sides of every patch. If you are only using half of each patch, you are using 100% more patches than you need.
We could test a power washer on one of your barrels. No solvent or patch needed?
Just remember when the dirty side goes on the jag, the jag gets dirty. Then the next patch has no clean side for a second pass....
Patches are cheap.
My garbage can is at the end of the bench where the rod comes out. Pull off the patch, drop it in the can.
The last bag of patches I bought was a 1000 pack three years ago. Still using it..

What are you patching that gets that dirty, a muzzle loader?
Just use a clean patch. Buy in bulk, they are super cheap.
I do, the unused side of the patch is clean. 
who needs tp when you can attach a garden hose to your toilet and spray clean your butt .
squeaky clean after every use . And and enema at the same time you will be squeaky clean inside and out .

That's not a garden hose.
Started out just using one side. Then I was around a bench rest shooter that broke several world records and seen him flipping the patches over so I figured if he was doing it I should too. That was 30 years ago!!!
As long as you shake the f@ck out of it.Well then, guess its OK to turn a condom inside out and use it again...
I clean 2 223's at one time. The Criterion barrel gets the new patch, the Savage gets sloppy seconds.
I certainly flip my sponge and use the other side when wiping grout.
Sometimes
. The muzzleloader only gets one patch, no flipping required.Get a bore snake and drag the same crud through your barrels for years!
