What is this Hornady LnL part?

[Shmackey]

I lost (via the cat, I assume) the little black plastic piece that helps the primer tube sit perfectly inside the primer blast shield on my LnL AP. The piece also helps orient the primer pickup tube correctly against the primer tube when adding primers. I want to add one to a Midway order, but I can't find it in their catalog.

It is cylindrical, with three or four legs that fit inside the primer blast shield. And it is gone.

Was thinking about that. Also just found a PDF online. It is a "primer tube support" or "support primer tube" depending on what they feel like calling it. Part number is 398318.

Midway doesn't carry it, so I called Hornady, and they are indeed sending one out to me under warranty--even though the part is "technically probably not" covered against cats.

They have given me some of the best CS I've ever had from a company and their phone reps are very knowledgable and friendly, a pleasant surprise these days.
