Its not a press, its a precision machine. - Frankford Arsenal X-10 Progressive Press w/Case Feeder

Karma's Review of Frankford Arsenal X-10 Progressive Press w/Case Feeder
It’s built like a tank. It weighs 100lbs. And it’s 4feet tall with the case feeder. The frame is spring steel. What swords are made of.
The tool head is heavy but it just glides up and down when set correctly. The lever will free fall if I let it. I can move it with my pinky. The case feeder sounds more like jingling change in your pocket instead of as loud as brass in a tumbler with no media.
It has built in led lights so you can see every station.
It comes with one die for swaging and the powder charge. The dial is a precision style dial, but different powders will throw different. But it’s within .1 of your target.
You will need 6 3/8 bolts to mount it.
If you sit, mount it about waist high. If you stand mount it a little higher so you won’t have to reach for the handle.
It will intimidate you un boxing it. Relax and spend the first night cleaning all the grease off. It’s gonna take more than a paper towel and a a tip. Once you have cleaned it well you will understand better what all is going on with it. Don’t put it together until you get your shell plate. It’s not as difficult as you will want to make it. If you complete a step and it stops feeling effortless, stop and look at what you just did and you will find where any bind is. 10 stations seems like a lot, but it fills out easy enough.
Take a 4die set and add a powder checker or lock out sue and a hold down die and you can run better than factory ammo.
It swages and primes with low primer alarm so you don’t charge cases with a hole in the bottom.
The bullet feeder isn’t out yet. But it’s coming. Be sure to have your old press put up before you whip this monster. This is like the press your wife said not to worry about. You will be able to run a batch of 500 before you can without your arm getting tired. Easily make 1,000 in a few hours and be at least to mfg standards if not better.
