Which specific calibres are supported by the Frankford Arsenal X-10 #4 Shell Plate?

The FA-FX10SP4 shell plate is built with a 0.378-inch rim diameter specifically designed for .223 Remington, 5.56x45mm NATO, .300 AAC Blackout, .204 Ruger, .17 Remington, and .380 ACP. It is physically incompatible with larger rim profiles like .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor.

Can I use this shell plate on progressive presses from other brands or older single-stage presses?

No, this shell plate is exclusively engineered for the Frankford Arsenal X-10 10-station progressive reloading press. It will not fit single-stage presses such as the Frankford F-1, nor is it compatible with progressive presses from other manufacturers like Dillon, Hornady, or RCBS.

How does the design of the shell plate prevent powder spillage during high-volume reloading?

The plate features integrated ball bearings on its underside that interface seamlessly with the X-10 press indexing system. This ensures an ultra-smooth, gear-driven 10-station rotation that drastically minimises indexing jars, keeping filled cases steady and preventing powder from spilling.

Are there any electrical safety certifications or SAA/RCM requirements for this component in Australia?

No electrical safety assessments, 240V compatibility checks, or SAA/RCM certifications are required for this product. Because the Frankford Arsenal X-10 #4 Shell Plate is a purely mechanical, unpowered accessory constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel, these electrical regulations do not apply.
