Using the right size helps as with the right size patch you only need one patch to make a nice tight fit to effectively clean the bore. If you use a smaller jag then you'll need more patches to keep a snug fit or you won't get a good enough clean. At least this is what I've found with the (apologise for layman's terms) the pointy style jags instead of the ones with the slot.
I use both also. I actually like using the PH jag and a nice tight patch, its just a matter of working out the exact size of 4x2 to cut off for each caliber. I keep samples of the size patch I need pinned to a notice board above my cleaning bench.
