Beta Tester (Update)
Written on Jul 13, 2024
Update from my previous review. Figured out that the bearing crushing issue in cam is from putting the rear hold down nut flush with the bottom of the press. (The one near the powder drop) If you leave a 2mm gap after installing all your dies and running a cartridge fully thru the press, no bearing issues. No issues at all. **NOTE-Frankford Arsenal please take note and update your installation instructions.
With that said, I would now recommend this press. I am using Winchester small rifle primers and this seems to be the manufacturer which works great. Still need to try federal. Either way these have been the best 223 rounds I have ever made. Cannot comment on large primers.

After owning a month, I am Not happy. Took all of 8 hours to setup and many, many hours to diagnose the issues.
Pros- Very, very well machined, runs all on bearings, quite, smooth. I am impressed with this part.
Cons-Ball bearings on the main drive break apart; Yes, this is a fact. Second, The priming system doesn't like Small Rifle Ginex or CCI Primers. (I have yet to try Large primers). The gear drive for priming, crushes the edges of the primers listed above. So you are limited to the type of primers you can use.
I would NOT recommend this machine; until those are fixed....maybe two years or so. I recommend buying a different press option until those are fixed.

Purchased this over a Kiger barrel, and I am very happy to report it fit right in each of the slides I tested. I used this in AOA, PSA Dagger, and Live Free Slides wiht no issues. Very accurate and increased accuracy as it wore into its final slide location.
