Lee Loadmaster 25 acp mod ideas

I am looking to reload 25 acp on my loadmaster press. I don’t know where to look for tubes that’ll fit the 25 acp cartridges. Can anyone point me to the right directions or have any ideas of where to get the tubings? And what size tubing would that be? I know where to get the shellplate, just need to get the tubing and how to mod the case collator for the 25 acp and case slider? Any info will be appreciated.

Jonnys reloading bench did a video on this and said the only available shell holder made by lee sucked. Might be worth a look.

Already found a guy who makes them for both the 5.7 and 25 acp. Just needing ideas of where to get the right tubings for the little cartridges. And also found someone who is 3D printing the the tubing holders for the lee progressive presses. I imagine there’s people out there who wants to load for these little cartridges progressively given the size of these cartridges. Hopefully someone can chime in on where to get the right plastic tubing for it. Just needing info on it.

I’m sure it'll work for the 25 cartridges. But I doubt it’ll fit the tube holder. Basically I need something that’s “thicker” and will fit the tubing holder. You get the picture?

Yeh sure
Just make a bushing/sleeve out of PVC pipe/other plastic tube or fittings, if it's slightly too big slit it and squeeze it a little, jeese I've just wrapped tape around tubes to get a snug fit.
Use your imagination, it's not rocket science,

Hm, I might give that a try but I have a guy willing to print me something.
