Hornady Bullet feeder die tubes?

[AstroAngler]

I bought one of these dies to help progress, but wondered if anyone else uses them and has found a tube that fits it so that you can load more up with out having to feed it as often. Of course a bullet feeder hopper would be ideal, however, looking for a cheaper fix that may allow me to load the tube up to 30-50 projectiles at a time. Ideas? Solutions? Thanks

I use the multi tube feeder on my Lee Loadmaster, love it. Just have to get the spacing and timing right on it.

McMasters-Carr has a lot of small items. Take some measurement of your equipment and look through their tubing choices. I used them a lot for small orders when I was a working machinist.

There's lots of tubing options on that site any suggestions on how to connect that tubing to a die or which tubing you would use?

I have the Hornady Bullet Feed Dies for 9 & 40 ... LOVE them!
There's a YouTube out there and some other postings ..
Based on these postings and sizes stated, I got some clear plastic tubing from Linens & Things on line
They were inexpensive and work 100% (just shake them a little periodically to keep the column flowing!)
P.S. I don't remember the sizes / hate the fact that Hornady doesn't have these dies in .308 and .223!!!!)
I may have an old post on the subject, but can't find it
BTW: The tubes slip right into the mouth of the die ... NO mods required!

I finally did find a plastic tube to fit the .40 at Linens & Things

For 40 and 9mm go to Linens and things and pick up some plastic aquarium tube.
1/2 OD for 40cal and 7/16 for 9mm

For .45 bullets, go to McMasterCarr and get some clear .5 ID tubing.
