I got these in a deal to get something I wanted, package deal, all or nothing. No idea what they go to, some kind of Pacific primer feeder trays and tubes. Any information appreciated.

The plastic trays are for a shotgun shell reloader. Search for a Hornady 366 for context.

Thanks. Do these tubes go with them? I'm not real familiar with shotgun reloaders, but these tubes seem small for 209 type primers.

Under the black knob is where the tube connects. The tubes may be for something else? The trays look similar to the primer feed on my Hornady 155, single stage shot shell reloaded. Tom

They say right on them (Primer Tube Filler).
The tubes must be the primer tubes.

They go on the old Pacific shotshell reloaders, if I remember right, you put the primers in the tray, turn the knob and the primers drop into the brass tubing that is attached the loader.

Have a blessed day,

the tubes are for small/ large pistol/rifle dont work with the shotshell size .
the tubes look to be Lyman but could be wrong from the pic

Turns out thos tubes fit in the primer arm of a Lyman All American Turret I have, just gotta find the rod that arm swings on now.

I've found the large & small primer tubes are fairly universal.
I've never had a Lyman, but I've had ones from RCBS and Hornady were the basically the same, and would interchange
on the RCBS bench priming tool, both companies single stage press and the Hornady progressives.

Those tubes looks like what came with my single stage Hornady press. The tubes slipped into an L shaped piece that bolted to the press frame. The system worked, but using the press to prime didn't give me enough feel. So I went to hand priming everything.

You can see the L shaped piece in the forth circular picture, with the tube coming out the top of it. The tube just sat in there. The hole in the tube was to stop the primers from feeding by inserting a circlip you don't appear to have.

Put 'em on S&S.
It's handy to load up a few extra ones of them when ya get to rock'n & rolling with a progressive
or bench mounted primer tool/press and not have to stop and refill your only one.
