Worth it in time savings alone - Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Tubes

I thought i would game the system and build my own tubes first. After two trips to the store,covering myself in sanding dust, and waiting for epoxy to cure overnight i realized that the net present value of Hornady's tubes is greater than mine. They fit precisely, they don't flex, bullets move smoothly through them, and they are aesthetically pleasing on top of my LNL-AP. The only drawback is they are open ended, so if you like to preload abs at them aside you'll need to fashion a cap for them. I found that a piece of rifle brass press fit into the end works well in a pinch. A small hole and another clip would be ideal. Overalli think these tubes are valued accurately from Opticsplanet.com and i would recommend this for anyone looking to incorporate bullet feeding into their process.
