As someone who picked one up over the summer this year, I'm finding myself wishing I had gotten a 750XL instead. I think in the future the X10 will be extremely competitive, but right now there's just too many potential problems to recommend them.
Main woes:
1. Had a ton of issues with the priming system at first, I'll still occasionally (every few hundred rounds) get a primer stuck in the primer assembly which stops everything and I have to take it apart etc... This seems to be a pretty common issue
2. I'm still having trouble getting consistent throws from the powder measure/thrower. This also seems to be a pretty common issue.
3. QC in general seems to be an issue, luck of the draw if the machine you end up getting is issue-free or issue-ridden. I'm fortunate in that my machine doesn't seem to have defects (others on this forum have not been so lucky). But only 6 months in and I've had a replacement primer assembly and priming rod sent to me through their customer service (free of charge at least).4. They don't seem to have much in stock as far as X10 parts or replacement parts go. Their holddown dies have been out of stock since I purchased my press. Took about a month for me to receive my replacement priming rod. Their bullet feeder system was supposed to come out this year, but obviously that's been pushed out.
Positives:
1. 10-stations for 5-station money2. The action and indexing is very smooth
3. Case-feeder included
4. I've seen others comment that their CS is abhorrent. My experiences have always been mostly stellar.5. I met the engineer who is responsible for the X-10's creation at MG Nats this year. Paraphrasing but he basically said it's his life's work and his mission was to make something that rivaled the RL1050/1100. So while there are issues with it, I do trust that they are doing everything they can rectify them.
Hope this is helpful
Very helpful
I don’t see the benefit to upgrading to a 750. I only load about 8-9k rounds per year, and I’ve been shooting less due to less free time.
The biggest thing for me was in line swaging, I know I know it may not be necessary for 9 mm. But it makes me feel better, and I’ve noticed less smashed primers then without swagingRight now my process is
1-Decap on LEE APP
2-Wash/dry
3-Swage on LEE APP
4-load on LNL
I figured with 10 stages I could most likely just wash/dry and then reload them with swaging happening in line.
I maybe just better off buying the case feeder and running my LNL. I really have no complains with it as it does what I need it to do. That being said I would have bought a 750 from the start. I also don’t think the $ for a 1050/1100 is a smart investment for me, even for a second hand machine they are pricy.

This press has been out for sometime now. What is everyone’s thoughts on it?
I’m considering an upgrade from my LNL, and right now I only load 9minor for production and CO. I do plan on loading 223 eventually.
I already own a bullet feeder and I’m just about ready to buy a case feeder. In my opinion, I could buy the FX 10 which already comes with a case feeder.I think with 10 stages I should be able to streamline my process and handle the brass less.

lol...actually I'm good at math; I just have to pay attention to exactly what I'm reading... preoccupied I guess.
seriously though at this point I'm not sure what he paid for what quantity.
"404 for 1000" as stated is way way high; he probably meant 5000.
404 for a case of 5k is about right for where we are in todays market
I definitely meant 5000. Sorry guys

I’m trying to add screenshots from the video. That is definitely a new vortex dot that’s unreleased
-
I know that’s what he uses on his M&p
it just looks different to me. At first I thought it was a 507comp But I know he uses vortex
either way he made it look effortless as always.

Maybe for 500? 4 cents/primer is way lower than anything I've seen since the bad times started.
They were on sale for ammo+ members

What dot is he using

I have a few buddy’s who shoot MPA’s and they run great. Both limited 40’s and open major..

Lake City recently cancelled all civilian orders. So, no more surplus ammo for the foreseeable future.
Yes, which means I’ll be learning how to load rifle ammo now..

I also stocked up on primers and powder for the year but I’m just getting into multi gun, has anyone checked the supply price of 555/223? I was lucky enough to grab a few cases for under 400 shipped before they sky rocketed
primer prices still seem to be on the downward slide, and at least there in stock everywhere.
-
I have around 9-10k reloads through my stock master. I started reloading when I bought this gun. So I hade my fair share of trial and error in the beginning.

Post a link to them if you could

Shoot Tier II matches and up. You earn points based on the number of matches you shoot. But there is always a wait list if you did not earn enough points (shoot enough larger matches).
Gotcha. So it’s basically based on participation. Not based on the results of certain matches.
makes sense. Seems like a good system

Going to Israel?
I was hoping to shoot some more 3 gun, but if prices jump I may not. Got one 3 gun match coming up, it may be my last one for a while. Hope not
I’m just getting started in multigun…

How do you earn points?

I carry a metal frame tanfoglio compact that also comes in polymer. I love it.
Can’t imagine the full-size version being any less better
-
I also have a Timney trigger on my 4.25 PC 2.0.
I like the pre travel better then the trigger safety that apex has -
The metal m&p’s have great triggers
-
I’m also Surprised No one posted about the explosion at hornadays gunpowder plant
-
Did he know you were fairly new to this style of match? Maybe he’s a little bit of an “overly-helpful” attitude kinda of person.

How’s a posi rear on a Plymouth work? It just does

I tried looking it up on ps. Nothing comes up

OK -- very flaky and open to speculation. Someone is either totally incompetent in planning, executing, and documenting this or something isn't quite right.
Bottom line. If Guinness did not run the entire thing, then to me it was not done to the same conditions and standards as the one by Max Michel so it should not be a 'Guinness World Record'.
