Overview

The Frankford Arsenal FX-10 #1 Shell Plate (.357 Magnum / .38 Special) is a precision-machined, high-grade stainless steel reloading accessory built for seamless caliber conversion. Designed to mount exclusively onto the proprietary 10-station gear-driven hub of the Frankford Arsenal X-10 Progressive Reloading Press, this purely mechanical shell plate allows high-volume reloaders to safely and efficiently transition their setups to run .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridge cases.

Key Features

  • Smooth Indexing Ball Bearings: Features integrated premium ball bearings that deliver ultra-smooth indexing rotation, reducing rotational "snap" and minimizing powder spillage or bullet tipping during progressive operation.
  • Laser-Marked Identification: The caliber designations are laser-etched onto the face of the plate for quick identification and selection on the workbench.
  • Dedicated Storage Case: Ships with a protective polymer storage case designed to keep the underlying steel indexing bearings clean, lubricated, and free from carbon fouling and debris when not in use.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Material: Machined from solid, high-grade stainless steel to provide a durable, rust-resistant foundation capable of resisting wear under continuous reloading pressure.

Who is the Frankford Arsenal FX-10 #1 Shell Plate (.357 Mag / .38 Spl) for?

  • High-volume handgun ammunition reloaders — requires the specialized 1.9 lbs high-grade stainless steel shell plate to interface directly with the proprietary 10-station gear-driven hub of the X-10 progressive press, ensuring ultra-smooth indexing for .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridge production.

Less suitable for: Reloaders processing larger rifle cartridges that exceed the maximum case length threshold of a .308 Winchester or 30-06 case, which exceeds the mechanical limits of this progressive press accessory and requires a larger, caliber-specific shell plate type.
