Could someone using Yore tubes give me a recommendation as to which size to use? I have a Pedersoli Sharps carbine and am currently using the ring tail bullet and 1.375 Hahn tubes. It would seem like the standard Yore tube would be correct but their website recommends the longer size for ringtail bullets. 4.5" tube seems long.
what is the name of web site for the tubes

i HAVE USED BOTH W NO PROBLEM. IF YOU ARE USING CHARLIES TUBES AT 1 .375 SO i WOULD SAY THE SHORT ARE OK . PERSONALLY I WOULD STAY W CHARLIES TUBES.
ITS NOT FUN TO GET TO A SHOOT AND FIND OUT THAT THE BULLETS CAME OUT OF THE TUBE WHILE TRAVELING. BEEN THERE DONE THAT. ALSO HAD SOME COME APART JUST WALKING TO THE LINE.

Yore sells a sample pack that has a small quantity of both lengths. I personally think the longer version is handier to manipulate during a team match. When you press the bullet into the chamber, it leaves more length to take it back out without fumbling around.
The presence of a ringtail shouldn't matter as the tube holds the bullet around the driving bands.
