A question about bullet trays

What are you using for trays for the 1.290 6mm jackets? The trays for the .825-.900 do not work very well.
Just looking it seems the funnel in the tray should be over half the diameter of jacket length.

Yep, the longer the jacket = more separation required.:eek:RG

Not that I am aware of. :( I had an uncle make some for me (he made ten sets to hold 1k each) - every time we talked about rifles, he griped about the "chip" volume until he died. When he finished them, he advised me to never ask him to do more!:p;) The last set I acquired, was from George Ulrich - I use that set for .22 and 20 Cals. - that was probably ten years ago. RG
 
The only trays I'm familiar with are the ones I made following the Carraway article. I set mine up where I have dowel pins aligning the trays. I could put spacers between the lower base and the middle tray with the funnels to accommodate longer jackets if I needed to. Maybe an idea?
 
I tried the spacers

and that cured the problem of jacket height. The bigger issue is getting the jackets into the trays.
Those 1.290's are like little rolling pins when trying to load into a tray made for short jackets.
It is for sure going to require more hole spacing and a bigger funnel. I really don't see how to get around that.
Thanks for the interest though.
