Large vs small primer pickup tubes
Quote from Reloader on March 12, 2013, 7:54 pmI ordered a 550B and it should be showing up tomorrow. I haven't been able to get my hands on any primers yet but I want to be prepared when I do. I'm going to be reloading 9mm which uses a small pistol primer. Does that mean I need to use the small pickup tube vs the large pickup tube? I have two large pickup tubes and I'd like to know if I should order some small pickup tubes to fit my small pistol primers. I'd rather not buy extra if not needed but I may have misunderstood how this works. Are large tubes for large primers or are they just able to hold more. Thanks for your help!

I believe that small primers could roll upside down in the larges tubes.

Quote from Reloader on April 4, 2013, 3:36 pmDave - your tube kit should have come with 4 tubes. Two of them are pickup tubes (one for large and one for small - these two are shorter in length than the other two in the kit) and will have metal clips on on end. The other two are primer feed tubes and are physically longer but the internal diameter sizes are corresponding to the primer size.
