  1. That was range pick up brass, so who knows what shot it… honestly, if it doesn’t jam up the press, it doesn’t bother me.
  2. I just started using one It definitely doesn’t prevent all case bulging. This is three out of maybe 1500 or so
  3. My advice would be don’t use the automatic case feeder. And don’t use the bullet feeder. Figure out what each stage does by themselves and figure out what are the symptoms of something wrong. don’t have expectation of running 500+ rounds and hour until you figure out the machine. I think the machine it’s self is extremely simple. When you start adding 10 pieces of brass doing things, it gets complicated. also scrub the machine good when you first open it, because it’s coated heavily in anti-rust oil. And get an old toothbrush and clean the threads in the tool head good and this is the link to the bearings for the index arm. I broke one of them already. https://www.amazon.com/TRB-RC-6x19x6mm-Precision-Bearings/dp/B071D499GB?pd_rd_w=mAWSR&content-id=amzn1.sym.b854a5c2-4475-41f8-a6d4-df92b2868104&pf_rd_p=b854a5c2-4475-41f8-a6d4-df92b2868104&pf_rd_r=7TN5EXAR09JQ4S1WW5TC&pd_rd_wg=SAHzy&pd_rd_r=b9e47336-e6f7-42be-bb64-4b8933c84675&pd_rd_i=B071D499GB&psc=1&ref_=pd_basp_m_rpt_ba_s_1_sc
  4. I would think so because the tool head has 9x 3.5 mm jacks for the smart toolhead. and if anyone is having similar issues, feel free to send me a private message I’ll give you my phone number I know when I talk into my cell phone while working it’s not the most articulate writing.
  5. So after my wife purchased me an X – 10 for Christmas I set it up and mine had a consistent issue with flipping primers. Short version is that’s the primer pin wasn’t centered to the shell plate. Customer service was very good and they sent me all new small primer assembly and new pin out pretty quickly. I installed all the new parts and although the problem got significantly better, it still was not still not 100% right. After messing with the press this week I discovered that the swage Pin was making contact with the floor plate and causing the floor plate to clock a little bit and making the primer pin not be centered to the shell plate. I called them Tuesday morning, and I had new swage pin by Thursday night I got around to installing the new swage Pin and now the press runs like a top. Part of the reason why it took so long to figure out my problem is that I haven’t had much time to mess with it, being super busy at work. so now that I got her running right Im super satisfied with the upgrade from my hornaday LNL. That being said, I believe if I didn’t have the hornaday first I would have ripped this press off my bench and slammed it against the wall.. It’s a totally different feel from my LnL and a lot more going on with double the stages and I’m thankful I learned on the lnl Edit- to touch on the post above, I agree that the mark 10 is the bench mark for 10 stage presses. But I could not justify spending that much money. The way I see it is I’m all in with a bullet feeder, and floor plate for around 1500 bucks, not including the dies, which you need no matter what press you buy. So for the money I saved I could deal with working some bugs out.
  6. My buddy has the double stave RIA. He bought a whole new top end for it. Fits right on edit. A stock RIA upper
  7. I’m out. Most likely going to pull out of mid Atlantic as well
  8. We all joked that Frank was going to get removed somehow, someday. I guess they made their move. It’s a shame.
  9. I’ve ordered non-gun related stuff from them
  10. Yeah it is… in all honesty. I don’t see why you couldn’t cut down the keys feeder stand a little bit. I still haven’t gotten my bullet feeder to see if that would be a problem. It’s suppose to ship today/tomorrow
  11. So I completely forgot that my machine is a part waiting for replacement parts But from the top of my table to my ceiling is 4 foot that being said. My ceiling is unfinished and is just open. So maybe that’s why I can lift the lid to fill the case feeder edit. here is a picture I took when I first assembled it
  12. What are they going to say no they can’t move you and put you in open? Text the same amount of time as moving you to the proper division
  13. I’ll measure tonight when I get home. But it’s tall.. the post for the case feeder splits in half, so I put the case feeder on the post. Then connect the top of the post to the bottom half
  14. I bought a lyman universal hold down
  15. Don’t think that passes the ny safer act …. Stupid laws
  16. I’m shooting with my buddy’s this weekend and I’ll ask them, but if I do have to take you up on your offer I’d would only do so I could you send you a few$ for your time and shipping. Let me see what my buddy’s say thanks again
  17. Good point about the bearings I might have to buy a 3d printer now too
  18. I wonder how they hold up over time. Especially when you have to muscle through the occasional jam and whatnot
  19. That’s perfect for me, I’m only loading 9 now. And plan on 556/223 down the line i ordered the bullet feeder and 9mm conversion kit from mid south as well
  20. That’s good stuff. All this 3-D printed stuff is like another language to me.I can’t even print something on paper lol I’ll have to send it to my body and have him print it off for me.
  21. So I’d be a lot more concerned if there wasn’t such an obvious problem with the primer pusher. Clearly, that’s the problem for now. Emails but I also called the phone number and that’s how I got to speak to somebody. It’s listed right on the bottom of their homepage. Do you mind sharing some pictures of the modifications you made? I found some 3d stuff I’m waiting for a buddy to print to help with the shell pusher hang up https://www.printables.com/model/669623-frankford-arsenal-x-10-case-feeder-guide?fbclid=IwAR1gg90kv-41jwBTrFjeDFZgA6_0Tsd19wbKYQ10QMoWxXPblw7XN2xQAlo
  22. So I set my machine up, long story short I had nothing but problems with my primer assembly. I Couldn’t run more than 2-3 rounds without a flipped and crutched primer. Being the long holiday weekend I couldn’t speak to them until Tuesday Ultimately, my primer push rod isnt lined up with the shell plate.(see picture), but the swage rod is perfectly centered. Stemming from the primer problem, and my impatience I broke the base of the small primer assembly. They are sending me a new one. I also broke one of the bearings on the indexing assembly. they are sending me out a new one as well, but are out of stock so they sent me a link to purchase the bearings separately on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B071D499GB?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image When contacted customer service yesterday and they’re mailing me out a whole bunch of new parts saying there was a bad batch with poor Quality control. seemed as if I’m not the only one to have this problem on a brand new machine. Either way, I’m not too concerned. I was just looking forward to running a lot of rounds on my few rare days off
