CH Auto Champ Mark 111 case tubes

[oger]

I'm down to 1/2 of 1 original case tube, tried looking for something else that will work but no luck can you still buy the originals?

Got a picture and dimensions?

For .38/.357 you can use 1/2" plastic pipe. For .45 acp you need the larger inside diameter of 1/2" copper pipe. Both will connect to the clear tubing of the CH with a standard plastic 1/2" coupling. That is what I use on both my MarkIII and 5A.
I have about 8 3 foot long tubes with pins in them. Fill the tube with cases, when tube runs out put a new tube on and pull the pin. Each tube holds about 24 .38 or 21 .357 mag cases. The .45 tubes hold over 30 cases.

It's a 45 acp. Right now I have a piece of 5/8s stainless tubing but I would like to be able to see how many are left.

I have a CH MkIV AutoChamp, I use 1/2 plastic pipe for my 45 reloading. I made a self-filling tube with a plastic colander, a piece of wood with the bottom rounded out to suit the shape of the colander and a 1/2" plastic coupling glued in to suit the hole in the colander, Colander hole was radiuses a bit, and fastened to the colander with 4 small wood screws angled so they were flat to the curved surface of the plastic. See photos above.
