Has anyone tried one of the "spinning jags" There is one called the "Spin Jag" and another
much less expensive one made by T/C. The "Spin Jag seems adapable to fit more bullets but the T/C one looks like it would work for most. Do these actually do a better job of Loading and cleaning??
Thanks Ray

I use the TC spin Jag on a brass range rod for loading powerbelts, and Hornadys. Works fine, but I can't say it works any easier.
I still use older TC jags with muzzle guides for cleaning.

I have a rod with a spinning jag held on with an allen head screw. I have made jags for every caliber and they change quickly. It is much easier to clean with then trying to turn the rod to follow the rifling. A spinning handle works great too. I think the cleaning patch gets deeper into the grooves when it can follow them.

I don't think it's a necessity of cleaning that calls for a spin jag. I think it's the necessity of accuracy. Sabots must be tight fitting to be accurate and unless they can follow the rifling on the way down the barrel then the sabot can become sheared slightly, causing uneven pressure to be exerted on the bullet. This leads to inaccuracy.

The "Spinjag" does.

Where do you get the spin jag. I have one from Precision Rilfe but it does not work with a patch. A little to thick

Ordered one yesterday. I have had another similar jag that I have used for the past year. Looking forward to getting the Spinjag. Understand it is superior to the others.
