Apperently the size tube is as the OP describes. My firend found this out on his LNL when he switched to the 40. Yet another reason the Dillon case feeder is better. I haven't heard of any issues when using the supplied filler tube.:dunno:Why not just use the large tube that comes in the kit.
Called hornady they're shipping out the retrofit part for .40s&w. Thanks for the tip.
I tried several Google searches but couldn't find a supplier for that tube. I checked the link that was posted and sure enough there it was. Go figure. Thanks all for the help.

So my press fed 10mm ok. It was tight though. I didn't use it much with 10mm so I don't have enough experience to know if it was going to work properly over the long haul. Interesting that Hornady doesn't just provide this part with the case feeder. I will probably get in trouble for even saying that.:upeyes:Apparently the size tube is as the OP describes.

You would think huh? Part of the case feeder would be approp. sized tubes.:dunno: Nice they don;t charge you though.So my press fed 10mm ok. It was tight though.

Yes they should add it to the casefeeder and not make you call to get it. Maybe they have added it to newer casefeeders :dunno:Maybe I will wait a month or two before I order mine and let inventory drop down and they will ship it with the casefeeder.So my press fed 10mm ok.

True. But is it worth a pissed off customer (for example, ME) because I can't load using the casefeeder while waiting for them to ship me $5.00 worth of parts? That is the issue I have. Seems to me that Steve may be correct on this. Is Hornady sending out products not completely tested? I hope not. But to not send out a $5.00 part to keep the price/profit margin about the same seems shortsighted to me.Just a guess: If they included the fixit parts with EVERY casefeeder shipped, it would increase the overall cost of the accessory. By providing the fix only to the people that actually need it (for example, NOT me) they keep the price/profit margin about the same.

Hate to say it. It's tested. They know it doesn't work for some (that is why they have the part to fix it). But you only get the part if you ask for it. There are other examples of this with the machine but I don't want to start a war (primer punch divot is another example, they have a part to fix that too).True.

I hear about the primer punch divot but after 35,000 rounds I still don't have one. Yet.Hate to say it. It's tested. They know it doesn't work for some (that is why they have the part to fix it).
