    Reloading tubes

    Looking for a commercially available reloading tube that will hold 4- 50 grain 50 caliber pellets and a 300 grain sabot bullet. Anyone know if such an animal exists or will I have to create my own?

    T/c sells long clear tube type quick loaders I think 3 attach to a holder that will attach to a stock or belt, as you know the common green ones are not long enough for your load in question.

    Since you want it for a 50, that makes it easy to make. You just need 1/2" PVC and caps.

    Thanks. T/C has a couple of models that will work.

    If you don't want see thru. Stop into a few machine shops and ask them to save the 1/2" end mill tubes for you. They are a 2 piece cardboard tube. An inner and outer. They should be available also ready made. ou might check Buffalo arms , Dixie, and trac of the wolf.

    Hobby Lobby. Jewelry section. The tubes they make for storing jewelry beads are just over half inch. I use them for powder charges for my ML. When in the field I also carry my PP bullets in them as well. Have not tried to put powder and bullets in one but with pellets I think it would work. I like having clear tubes that I can see what is inside.

    PS you can also buy similar dia tubes at ULine that can be cut to any length you want.
