The Frankford Arsenal X-10 Powder Measure Assembly (Model: FA-FX10PM, SKU: 1136232) is a purely mechanical, case-activated powder-dispensing unit built exclusively to interface with the Frankford Arsenal X-10 10-Station Progressive Reloading Press. Operating entirely without electrical power, this unit automates the powder charging stage of the reloading process. By utilizing a mechanical linkage, the assembly only dispenses a powder charge when a cartridge case is physically pushed up into the die, virtually eliminating accidental powder spills on an empty shell plate.

Key Features

• Case-Activated Flow: The mechanical trigger mechanism dispenses gunpowder only when a case is present in the station, preventing accidental spills on the shell plate.
• Positive Reset Linkage: Equipped with a mechanical linkage system that forces a positive reset of the powder bar and drum, reducing the risk of a squib load caused by a sticking mechanism.
• Premium Materials: Constructed with a static-free aluminum body to prevent powder from clinging to the interior walls, while the powder drum rides on smooth ball bearings.
• Precision Micrometer Dial: Features a highly adjustable, micro-adjustable dial used to fine-tune powder drops with high repeatability.
• Anti-Bridging Design: Engineered with a specialized hopper shape and an integrated powder baffle to eliminate powder bridging and binding.

Who is the Frankford Arsenal Fx-10 Powder Measure Case Activated for?

• Competitive shooters reloading volume ammunition — requires a mechanical progressive reloading powder measure capable of consistently dispensing charge weights from 2.5 grains to 50 grains for high-speed handgun or rifle cartridge production.
• High-volume rifle and pistol reloaders — benefits from a progressive reloading powder measure that interfaces with three caliber activators to reload cartridges ranging in size from 9mm up to .308 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield length.

Less suitable for: reloaders working in high-humidity home environments exceeding 45% to 50% humidity where the steel components are prone to flash-rusting if not properly oiled, or for loading cartridges outside the 9mm to .30-06 Springfield length range, which are better served by a heavy-duty single-stage manual powder measure.
