Just out of curiousity, why do you prefer HDPE to fibreglass?

I've got a small stock of 1 piece HDPE's and they're slightly lighter than most fibreglass for a start. The main reason I use them is the much lower yield strength of PE which will give a lower pressure in the event of a shell bursting in the tube and less of a risk of things getting over exciting. I use them mainly for double break and cylinder shells.

If you don't need them pre-bunged, I use HDPE pipe from W.T. Burden. They have trade counters all across the UK.
