Does anyone know where I could pick up some clear tubing the same size as the above equipment? I want to have some extra tubes to load up with both casings, and bullets, to have available when the ones on the press run out. It's thin wall rigid tubing, od 7/16 for bullets, and 9/16 od for the casings.
Already tried Lowes, JoAnn's, and Hobby Lobby.
Somewhere someone said some site called Linens &Things, but tried that too.
 
I've seen references made to a store called Linens and Things. I believe the item was called aquarium tubing, but don't hold me to it. Sometimes my CRS flares up. ;)


Edit: Sorry, I missed the OP's reference to L&T not carrying the tubing anymore. Another senior moment brought to you by....

Unfortunately the O.P. is right: Linens & Things quit selling it. The place most buy thin-wall now days online is at Pet Mountain

Now keep in mind that Lee's Thin-wall's are 1/32" thick, so 5/16" O.D. is 1/4 I.D., and 3/8"O.D. is 5/16 I.D......etc. and it allows the tubing to be telescoped and even superglued together if you need.

That said, the source 2011lredrider posted is a source for the thicker walled tubing used by Lee Precision, RCBS, and Dillon. Whether 1/16" walls or 1/8" walls.

So...if you really want,

Then 2011redrider gave you the answer. Just check your O.D. and I.D. and wall thickness to get the right one.

Nothing I've read says you can't mix the types, I'm pretty sure. IOW's 3/8 O.D. thinwall will probably telescope into 3/8" I.D. thickwall......but don't expect to find thickwall in the 1/16" off sizes like 7/16" O.D.

There.....clear as mud!:)
