Redding Drop Tube Extension 4-1/2 in – Green Lexan, Fits All Redding Measures

Description

If you've ever watched a near-full case bridge up or spill powder at the mouth, you already know why a longer drop tube matters. The Redding Drop Tube Extension adds 4-1/2 inches of length to your existing setup, giving the powder more room to fall and settle. That extra drop height lets kernels stack more evenly in the case, which is especially handy on compressed or near-capacity loads where every bit of room counts.

Installation is about as easy as it gets. This is a friction slip-fit piece that slides right over the drop tube already on your measure or funnel, so there's no hardware, no tools, and nothing to adjust. It's designed to work with all current Redding powder measures and the green Lexan funnel, which keeps your bench setup consistent whether you're metering or trickling.

What the Redding Drop Tube Extension Does for Your Loads

Longer drop tubes help powder flow freely and column up in the case rather than piling at the neck. For handloaders chasing consistent charges on rifle cartridges, that translates to fuller, more uniform fills and fewer hang-ups when seating bullets. It covers calibers from roughly .22 through .30, which lines up with the bulk of bottleneck rifle work.

Built From the Same Green Lexan as Your Redding Gear

The extension is molded from the transparent green Lexan that Redding uses on its powder funnel and the drop tube that ships on its measures. That means a clean, quality fit and material that holds up to years of bench use. Redding has been building American-made handloading tools since 1946, and this little part carries the same no-nonsense durability their presses and dies are known for. It's a small upgrade that earns its keep on the loading bench.
