Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

.
If you have a coarse wheel bench grinder you could make one with a crudely cut down end. Won't look as nicely cut down as the lathe cut.

Don't even have one of those. If I could find a way to keep the tube ridgid enough while doing so, I might be able to use my drill press...maybe. ;)

No sweat... I could make up just the tubes and let you finish them off the way you want as far as plugging the end and adding your pin and tether.
Let me know.

The loader tubes worked fine this afternoon while I was dialing in the rear sight. I opened up the rear sight notch to .110 and it's more of a radius cut rather than a V notch. With a little more area around the bead when you sight in target it is easier for me to get on target.
You might sacrifice a bit of pin point accuracy but I can hit my actual targets quicker.
I'm never all that good on paper but I can hit my steel!

Sorry no pictures today!

Glad the tubes worked out, they looked like they would.

I was chipping away on several of those little pumpkins with the 125 gr. XTP loads with 9 gr. of Unique after I used up my MB 158 gr. bullets I had loaded. The pumpkins didn't explode like they did with those 2000 FPS 180 gr. 44 Mag loads!
