    Got Tubes?

    Time to stock up on CORRECT sized .69 caliber and .54 caliber loading tubes. These are the flat-bottomed, polyethylene tubes that everyone loves.

    .69 caliber are $10 per hundred, plus postage (or pick-up at Nationals)
    .54 caliber are $20 per hundred, plus postage (or pick-up at Nationals)

    I can attest that the red tubes work great, many of us on the Union Guards have been using them for years !!!

    I got 500 of the red .54 caliber tubes at the end of last season and the work very well.
