They had a pilot program sale a couple of weeks ago.Are they selling them yet?
A few questions if you don't mind, I like to think that I keep an open mind and believe that I do, so please don't think I'm trying to bait you. Simply trying to see the whole picture:Still has some minor issues. It's a beast at 95 pounds!
A few questions if you don't mind, I like to think that I keep an open mind and believe that I do, so please don't think I'm trying to bait you. Simply trying to see the whole picture:
1. Are you affiliated with the manufacturer?
2. Having worn out 2 Dillion 550s and had them replaced and rebuilt which I then sold and replaced with 650s, wore one of those out and replaced with a 750, I feel like I kinda know the short comings of the Dillons and their support and warranty is just unbelievable. What makes the FA a better setup for hand gun reloading.
3. How much do they cost?
4. Are improved add-ons being offered by other companies or are they needed? Would like to know more but that's a start, thanks John
Thank you sir for your answers. As you stated Dillion is having trouble keeping up and I've been told that they are still warranting everything I still have the one worn out 650 because of the covid thing and had to buy the 750 to keep loading. Keep thinking I need to send it in and see but keep putting it off. I will follow your testing. To be honest I had considered the FA products to be a little "harbor freight" in the reloading stuff but that one is sure smooth and the easy access to the dies sure looks nice, JohnI have a YouTube Channel obviously, and I have been enlisted to review the press. Previously my other progressive was/is a 30 year old Dillon Square Deal B with tens of thousands of rounds to its credit.
Years ago, when Dillon was smaller, their no B.S. warranty was the standard. Not sure when, but as I, too was "rebuilding" my Square Deal B over the years, Dillon changed their warranty policy for whatever reasons.
Fast forward to today. The Frankford Arsenal X-10 Progressive is a solid press with, some minor issues:
1. Shellplate must be DEADNUTS aligned or you will have issues.
2. Casefeeder clutch will not handle an overloaded bowl.
3. Case presentation at Station 1 needs improvement, occasionally jams on insertion.
Otherwise, solid so far.
Street price I'm guessing $1,100.

Yes literally takes 2 fingers to operate the handle.I'm amazed at how effortless the operation of this thing looks!! : O Looking forward to more reviews!
I'll sign up for a free giveaway sweepstakes if someone wants to give me one ; )A Frankfort Arsenal press for $1200 is actually comical. However if people will pay $500 for a sizing die , there will no doubt be some that buy this monstrosity. Just my opinion. I’ll stick with the Dillon for my progressive needs.
Great video, really nice to see this in action. Have you been using it in the few months since you made the vid, and how did it go? Any word on when these will become available?Still has some minor issues. It's a beast at 95 pounds!
