Looking for an in-expensive bullet feeder for your LNL (or other press)?
Hornady Bullet Feeding Dies are what I use for 9 mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP
An ODT Member inquired about my modified use of Hornady Bullet Feeder Dies to include feed tubes.
Hornady now has a metal tube option where others have used plastic aquarium tubing to accomplish this.
The plastic tubes work for 9 mm and .40 S&W ... and .45 ... requiring two things:
1) The proper Hornady Bullet Feeder Die
2) Proper dimensioned, stiff aquarium plastic tubing: 1/2 OD for 40 cal and 7/16 for 9 mm

For .45 bullets, go to McMasterCarr and get some clear .5 ID tubing.
Here's the listing for the metal ones:

Note the "Keeper" hole and clip on the end of the tubes that allow the pre-load and storage of filled tubes!
BTW: I would really, really like to see Hornady produce a bullet feed die for .223 and .308!!!!
Take a look at this (Looks kinda "cludgey" but may work)
