When I got my apex, I ordered a 50 cal spinjag instead of 45cal. In a hurry to shoot the new gun, I chucked up the 50cal spinjag and turned it down until it fit in a 45cal bore. The inside cup depth is an 1/8 inch deeper then a 45cal spinjag. I thought I would let the accumax users know this until the new spinjag comes out.

Is the I.D. of the pocket at the rim the same diameter as the .45 jag? Thanks, Kyle

Both id measure .285 . The depth of 45 is .455 and the depth of 50 is .578. Both depth measurements are to inside of allen head.

The Spin Jag designed for the Match Hunters seems to work with the
275gr AccuMax........?
How did you measure to the inside of the screw? The blade on my
calipers is too wide to make such a measurement.

The blade on my calipers is too wide to make such a measurement. Danno, I have contacted Phil Gunn, with Gunn Innovations, to discuss him making a series of Spinjags to fit the shape of my bullet. The current Spinjags are about .050 to .100" too shallow and the tip bottoms out in the jag. I sent him a sample this past week for review. A 9/32 bit in a drill press has been used by several shooters to deepen the pocket after disassembly. I will call Phil tomorrow to check on the progress. |

Which model of Spinjag are you talking about? The regular .45 Spinjag does not have enough
clearance for the MH bullets. I got the model which will fit the Match Hunters and the AccuMax
seems to engage prior to bottoming out??

I am talking about the one that has knurled cup. The blade on my caliper goes inside allen head.

I ordered 2 45 cal Match Hunter spinjag loaders directly from Parker. One cleared the Accumax and the other didn't. The difference is the socket head cap screw that assembles the spinjag. One of the screws was an oddball size that has a very shallow allen pocket and it clears with no modification. The other had a normal socket head cap screw that required the hole in the spinjag to be deeper. Note. When makng the hole deeper, you really should use an end mill so the floor of the hole is flat allowing the socket head cap screw to sit flush.
As to measuring into the allen pocket of the screw, some calipers have a narrower probe on the end to measure depth.

I have a .45 loader jag that I bought directly from spinjag and my bullet bottoms out in that one. Haven't tried one with the knurled end on it. |

Those to which I referred can be found here: www.spinjag.com/spinjag_loader.php (This is the regular SJ loader, good for shapes such as SST's and Barnes.) and here: www.spinjag.com/spinjag_for_parker_bullets.php (This is the loader made deep enough for the Parker bullets, but can also be used for SST's, Barnes, etc.) Neither of these jags are knurled. The original knurled spinjag was dual purpose for both loading and cleaning. So, my question to ANYONE who may know: Is the Spin Jag loader model made for the Parker MH's deep enough for the AccuMax?? |

Edit. I will contact Phil to compare both against my bullet sample tomorrow. Maybe the one made specifically for the MH series will fit. As I recall, I purchased my jag directly from Spinjag. Thanks for pointing out that there are two versions Danno!!!!

I have a 45 cal spin jag for match hunters that I bought from Luke and mine won't clear. I modified an old 50 cal spin jag first for practice and turned it down so it would go down my barrel.

No Danno, they will not work. they have to be deepened as has been described, fairly easy to do actually.

I spoke with Scat tonight on the phone and he purchased 2 Match Hunter Spinjags directly from Parker. He said that one allows my bullet to clear without problem and the other will not clear with the same bullet. Upon further inspection he noticed that the screws in the 2 Spinjags were not the same. It appears that this may be the issue. I will discuss this further with Phil Gunn tomorrow and order jags from him tomorrow that will accommodate the seating of my bullets. Thanks to everyone that has brought to light that there are indeed 2 different Spinjags for .45's in the loader series and 2 different Spinjags in the cleaner series. Kyle Pittman
