    New Dillon case feeder, where can I get tubing?

    Howdy y'all!

    Great news... I finally bit the bullet and bought a nice Dillon case feeder instead of trying to DIY one. I just don't have the time, so I said screw it, and it's on the way.

    I'll be using this to feed mostly a Lee APP press (for decapping huge amounts of pistol/rifle brass), and more importantly to feed a new Rollsizer which I bought from a very cool Calgunner.
    The Rollesizer feeds too fast to try and hand feed it down a tube, and it works better with a longer tube anyways.... so now I'm on the hunt for tubing I can use to Rube Goldberg this new feeder to both things.
    Walking around the hardware store, I didn't find anything that was flexible enough to do the custom routing without cases seizing in it, or being too large of an inner diameter for 45/308.

    So since I'm getting to the party very late... does anyone have a suggestion for a good source of tubing that's perfect for such things?

    I figure I'm the last person in this forum that has one. But this should seriously speed up my big batch processing.

    Thanks in advance!

    I use 3/4 in. O.D. x 5/8 in. I.D. x 10 ft. Clear PVC Vinyl Tube that I got from Home Depot to feed my Rollsizer from a case feeder.

      www.mcmaster.com has what you need.

      Some case and bullet feeder systems use an extension spring as a piece of tubing when more flex is needed.

        Perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for... thank you. My local hardware store didn't have anything with the 5/8 inner diameter, and I didn't know it was missing. Turns out, that's the exact one I needed, so I'll hit up El Depot.


        Thanks guys!
