The Frankford Arsenal X-10 Progressive with Case Feeder
The X-10 Progressive is a 10-station reloading press specifically engineered for serious shooters who produce large volumes of ammunition without compromising precision. This complete system with automatic case feeder increases your production to up to 1,000 rounds per hour, while the robust steel construction and gear drive ensure consistent results you can rely on during competitions or at the range.
Why Choose the X-10 Progressive with Case Feeder
The X-10 distinguishes itself through its unique 10-station setup that offers maximum flexibility in your reloading process. The integrated case feeder with capacity for 200 cases in .223 or 500 pistol cases eliminates manual feeding and significantly accelerates your workflow. The press features dual de-capping stations that prevent primer drawback, a feature missing from comparable presses that's crucial for reliable results.
The patented gear-driven shell plate system with multiple ball bearings minimizes powder spillage and prevents bullets from tipping during the reloading process. The case-actuated powder measure with positive reset guarantees you'll never encounter dangerous squib loads from a sticking dispenser, a safety feature essential for volume production.
The integrated LED lighting in the tool head illuminates your workspace exactly where needed, an exclusive Frankford Arsenal feature that makes a real difference during extended reloading sessions. The roller handle and spring-loaded case locator buttons enable one-handed operation and significantly reduce physical strain.
Applications for Competition and Training
The X-10 is ideally suited for IPSC shooters, practical shooters, and precision rifle competitors who need large quantities of ammunition. With the ability to perform caliber conversions by simply swapping tool heads and shell plates, competitive shooters efficiently reload for multiple disciplines on a single press.
For long-range precision shooters loading cartridges for 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, or .308 Winchester, the X-10 offers the capability to integrate powder check dies and case trimming dies into the process. The inline primer pocket swaging capability for both small and large primers is ideal for processing military brass with crimped primers.
The press accepts standard 7/8"x14 dies, meaning you can continue using your existing RCBS, Redding, Hornady, or other dies. Suitable for cartridges from 9mm to .308 length, covering virtually all common pistol and rifle cartridges used in shooting sports.
Practical Use and Setup
The X-10 requires a sturdy workbench for optimal performance due to its weight of approximately 45 kg when fully assembled. Initial setup takes some time, but the interchangeable tool head system means that after initial configuration, you can switch calibers within minutes.
The case feeder is easily filled from the top and automatically feeds cases to the shell plate. Individual cases can be manually removed or added if necessary without interrupting the process, which is particularly useful when testing new loads or correcting minor errors.
For optimal results, we recommend starting with lower production speeds while learning the press. The smooth linkage geometry makes even long reloading sessions comfortable, but it's advisable to take regular breaks and check the lubrication of moving parts.
