Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 My lovely wife noticed that we live by ourselves in a five bedroom home. She has decided that one of the "spare" bedrooms should become a "library" space for all her books with a reading nook and lounging area. Ok, fine - If she gets that; then I'm moving my reloading bench out of the 119 degree garage into one of the other bedrooms. But ya know - If I'm building a new reloading area - maybe I want a new press? Ok I definitely want a new press - my Lee Progressive has served me well for 20+ years; but its time to upgrade. Has anyone seen or used the Frankford Arsenal X-10 press? I understand the loyalty to big blue and I might end up going that way - but for this post; I just want to hear about the X-10 and any experiences you might have had.

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Pretty spendy. Can’t tell from product description what it does better than Dillon 750 or Hornady LNL AP or what niche it fills. Reviews aren’t very recent, but the few that exist on forums are less than stellar (except the gun rags that always give rave reviews). Given the solid reputations of the blue and red machines, I’d be hard pressed to spend this much on an unproven system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for reviews from folks that have touched and experienced the Frankford. I am well aware of the other brands and their pros and cons.
