BiknSwans Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I just got an email from FA announcing their new 10 station progressive press. It looks very interesting. I would have loved the dual de-capping station on my Mark 7 Evolution. Designed by reloaders for reloaders, the Frankford Arsenal FX-10 is a 10 station automatic indexing reloading press purpose built from the ground up to be the ultimate progressive reloading press. At its core, the FX-10 features rigid steel construction, multiple ball bearings, and a proprietary 10 station, gear driven, rotating shell plate which all combine to virtually eliminate powder spillage and bullet tipping. The FX-10 offers innovative improvements like dual de-capping stations to prevent primer drawback, in-line primer pocket swaging capability (for both small and large primers), and the ability to run powder check and case trimming dies. The FX-10 includes a case actuated powder measure with a positive reset that guarantees you'll never have to worry about squib loads resulting from a sticking powder measure. When it's time to swap calibers, the FX-10's innovative design allows the user the ability to quickly and easily swap out tool heads and shell plates to reload anything from 9mm to 30-06 length cartridges. The FX-10 goes further and offers refined details like a roller handle, integrated LED light, and spring-loaded case locator buttons, which allow easy one-handed case feeding and lever operation, making the FX-10 exceptionally smooth and easy to operate. Compatible with our Frankford Arsenal Case Feeder and Bullet Feeder (sold separately), the FX-10 is the ultimate solution for progressive reloading.

But I agree that if this thing is actually reliable and does what it says on the tin, it is going to take a huge bite out of the 750 and 1100 market share.

cbrussell Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hopefully it will work as promised and at the attractive price pint they are currently touting. It would be great to have competition at prices we can afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwallace84 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Competition is never a bad thing! Just looking at pictures of it, kindof looks Mark7 knock-off-ish. Looks like maybe some cast components which, if done and machined well would be ok. Being a Mark 7 owner (very early model and fairly in-expensively updated to current parts), the mark 7 exhibits very fine machining and engineering IMO. This would undercut them in price by a bit. But rules of economics make me think there would be some compromises compared to Mark 7 in some way or another but by how much I could only guess. That being said, it could easily be something I might want to add to the reloading room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNJoel Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 M7 has a new cast press coming out, to compete at a closer price to the RL1100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Can`t wait to hear all the comments from the first beta testers. Hope they`ve got lots of parts in stock to fix it. Frankfort has never known to be of that great of quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSteel Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 This will be a great price point for the features mentioned. The big question will be the warranty and how well they honor it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
