Frankford Arsenal Precision Turret Press

The Frankford Arsenal Precision Turret Press (MPN: 1222391) is a heavy-duty, manually operated reloading press designed to deliver the mechanical rigidity of a single-stage press with the rapid swap-out speed of a turret system. Built with a robust cast-iron frame and heavy-duty linkages, this bench-mounted unit has a net product weight of 31.1 lbs (with a package weight of 32.5 lbs) to ensure absolute stability during high-pressure resizing operations. The press features an innovative anti-flex thrust bearing design that supports the turret head, minimizing physical movement and deflection under load to deliver highly consistent case sizing and bullet seating depths.

Engineered for clean and efficient operation, the press features a stainless-steel ram with a fully integrated, spent primer disposal system that catches primers and debris without spilling. To enhance workspace visibility, a low-voltage LED work light is integrated directly into the frame cavity. For Australian customers, this low-voltage light system can be powered easily via a standard 5V USB interface or a local 240V AU-compliant power source.

Key Features

• Anti-Flex Thrust Bearing Design: Secures the turret head under extreme pressure to prevent flexing, ensuring consistent head space and cartridge overall length (COAL).
• 8-Station Turret Head: Allows reloaders to set up, fine-tune, and leave up to eight individual dies in place for fast multi-stage or multi-caliber workflows.
• Integrated LED Lighting: Illuminates the central workspace and press cavity for safer, more precise powder level and seating checks.
• Contained Primer Disposal: Directs spent primers and carbon residue straight through the ram into a collection catcher, keeping the workbench clean.
• Ambidextrous Handle: Features a heavy-duty mechanical handle that can be positioned on either the left or right side to suit the operator.

Who is the Frankford Arsenal Precision Turret Press for?

• Precision rifle handloaders — requires the extreme structural rigidity of this 8-station reloading turret press to eliminate head flex when sizing and seating large-caliber cartridges up to .338 Lapua Magnum in length.
• Multi-caliber pistol and rifle handloaders — utilizes an 8-station manual indexing turret head to mount and preserve the exact settings of up to eight standard 7/8x14 thread reloading dies, allowing rapid changeover between different calibers.

Less suitable for: high-volume shooters loading thousands of rounds per week who require the speed of an auto-indexing progressive reloading press, mobile reloaders needing a portable tool under 31.1 lbs, or handloaders processing oversized calibers that exceed .338 Lapua Magnum length or require 1-1/4x12 threaded dies, which are better served by a heavy-duty single-stage press designed for larger threads.
