I went to Home Depot yesterday and was able to find 1/2in outside diameter PVC tubing. The inside diameter looks like it will work good for 45acp but it may be too large for 9mm. Do you think it will be okay to use for 9mm since it's connecting to the smaller Star 9mm tube?

Where do you you guys get your tubing for this and what kind?

I use the 1/2" OD diameter pipes for my .357 mag bullets. Should work fine for 9mm also.

I got mine from McMaster Carr. http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-plastic-hollow-tubing/=nkfigp
I ordered three sizes of clear plastic tubes. Covers my 22 cal, 40 cal and 45. They come in 6' lengths, cut them in half and drill a 1/8" hole in them and put in a cotter pin to hold the boolits in when you put it in the bullet feeder.

I use the 1/2" cpvc, hot water pvc, from the local home depot. I works for all calibers and fits into the adapter that came with the bullet feeder.

I bought mine at zorotools.com, along with my tumbling media. If you order over $50.00 worth of stuff, shipping is free, and they have the best price on ground corn cob.

Hope this helps.

Believe it or not, Linens & Things.

I know it sounds wierd but I needed the same type of tubes to feed a Hornady bullet feeding die on my Dillon 650 and someone posted a link to them. I wasn't sure what size I needed so I ordered a few different sizes and they are exactly what you need. The only issue is the OD of them and how they fit in the orifice of the feeder. If you need some OD sizes for their offerings PM me and I will see what I have.
