Overscore Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Dillon sells their small pickup tubes for $7.99 each or $23.95 for four ($6 each). Does anyone know if they offer any other bulk discount greater than packs of four? I'd like to get some number much larger than 4, like 40-50.

deerassassin22 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Why would you need that many just curious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franco79 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Geesus. You plan to load 4000-5000 in one setting? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Sounds like a good reason to get the automatic filler to me. Not sure I would want that many just sitting around in tubes anyway. Ever wonder why they don't sell primers already in tubes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franco79 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yeah I had to take a double look at that price also to make sure there was not two or three tubes included for that price but it appears it's just one tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franco79 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Why are yours $14 for the same tube as in the picture but mine are $30? It's the same tube and diameter from grainger Am I over looking something here? You can buy the tube in 6' lengths for $14.00 here... Then get a Vibra-Prime to fill then up. ..

Glock XIX Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) The tubing OD is the same but the ID is different. The $14 tube is rated for 2,900 PSI and has an ID of 0.215 The $30 tube is rated for 3,851 PSI and only 0.183 ID. Higher pressure thicker wall tubing, It would be a tight fit in the high pressure tube. Nominal OD for a small primer is 0.175 Edited August 30, 2013 by Glock XIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeMartens Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Still curious as to why you want so many? 1- I use a Pal-Filler 2-I hate to reload, so when I do it I will take 2-3 hours and load 1000-1500 rounds, case gauge them and box them 3-I also have 2-3 tubes full so if I need to do a quick 200-300 rounds I can 4-just like bullets, primers and powders, more is better I always say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franco79 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 The .215 tube for large primers seems like an OK price for a 6' length but for the smaller primers its almost double the price. I can't seem to find the small primer tube for around the same price as the large primer tube. Anyone know Ifthey sell it? The tubing OD is the same but the ID is different. The $14 tube is rated for 2,900 PSI and has an ID of 0.215 The $30 tube is rated for 3,851 PSI and only 0.183 ID.

Order from their subsidary Zorotools and it's much cheaper also you can find coupon codes for Zoro to bring odwn the price futher 11.66 and 12.95 respecitivly . http://www.zorotools.com/g/00056376/k-4NTD2/ http://www.zorotools.com/g/00056376/k-4NTD3/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjacobs Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Still curious as to why you want so many? Dillon 1050 with bullet feeder its possible to load 1000+ rounds an hour. Thats 10 tubes of primers ready to go. Doesnt sound so crazy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpj313 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 To resurrect an old thread, I ordered 2-6' lengths of tube for large pistol primers from McMaster Part # 89965K39 stating it's the same # as 89965K471. https://www.mcmaster.com/89965K39 ID .215" Got them in and the ID was .211 primer wouldn't even fit. I called them and said he would measure them himself before the replacement shipped, and the next delivery was the same! Come to find out Grainger has 1" lengths 5-16" OD with .214 ID. $2.76 each. https://www.grainger.com/product/GRAINGER-APPROVED-Tubing-48KU65 the tube wall seems a little thicker, but it works great and saves the trouble of cutting down a 6" tubes! Tube on the left is from Grainger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
