Most of what I make is used for leaders and passfires for can and round
shells so
there
is no need to pipe it all. Like I said you can fold a match pipe up to a
yard long,
this
covers the leaders and passfire needed for 3" to 6" shells.
For 8" rounds I attach two 3' pipes together to make one 6 footer.
