    .69 caliber loading tubes

    Does anyone make cartridge tubes for .69 caliber muskets, OTHER than those rubbery vinyl ones? I haven't been able to find the polypropylene or polyethylene ones like you see for .58 caliber. Or does anyone make the old cardboard ones in .69 caliber?

    I can make the cardboard tube for 69, however I need to do a 1000 minimum. If any one else would be interested to share the cost I can consider an order.
    What inside diameter would you want? Or would you want a steped tube?

    Well, they would need to be big enough to accommodate the .69 caliber Minie's, but snug enough so they don't fall out. My .69 caliber's range from 0.683 to 0.692.

    Can you make them with a closed bottom, or would it be up to us to glue in a plug of some sort?

    A stepped tube might be ideal, to prevent the bullet from falling too far into the tube and making it hard to remove.

    I would try some of those, they would need to hold 80 gr.

    Okay, let me see what I can do in the short time. I have an idea how to do it. I think it would be fine for the Alox crowd, but not for the double dippers. I will keep you posted
