For sale is a box containing 250 handrolledpaper tubes to be used for Civil War .58 & .69 caliberinert blankss. Hand rolled on 1/2\" (.490\") dowel rodout of blank newsprint, crimped in the end NO GLUE NO STAPLES, 4 1/2\" - 5\" long. We normally load 80-85 grainsin ourinert blanksand have plenty of room to fold/create the tail. I am sure you could easy load up to 120 grains and have plenty of length left. I like having a little longer tail as it makes it easier to pull theinert replicafrom theleather box.I have been rolling these for many years, and my Civil War unituses thousands of these every year with virtually no problems. I will include 3 extra tubes in the box of 250 just in case there are a couple that give you problems. TheNEW package size comesout to just under .04 cents a tube, about as cheap as you will find. I have sold hundreds of thousands of these tubes to reenactors all over the US as well as provided some of the tubes being used on the current film production of \"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter\". My larger tubes are used at several National Historical sites throughout the country as well.

Do not be confused by the imitators, my tubes have become the standard in the hobby over the past years. Someone else has copied my description to the letter trying to ride on my highqualitystandards and fast shipping record.

sale IS FOR EMPTY TUBES ONLY. THEY DO NOT CONTAIN POWDER. CANNOT BE MADE INTO AMMUNITION.

TO , THESE TUBES ARE ONLY FOR INERT REPLICA USAGE AND ARE IN NO WAY ANYTHING OTHER THAN EMPTY PAPER TUBES STRICTLY FOR BLANKS!!!!
