The Frankford Arsenal Precision Turret (FA-PTPT) is a dedicated replacement and spare 8-station tool head engineered specifically for the Frankford Arsenal Precision Turret Press. This unpowered mechanical plate allows handloaders to maintain dedicated die configurations across multiple rifle and handgun calibres. By accommodating standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies, it enables quick calibre changes without unthreading dies or losing critical adjustments such as shoulder bump and cartridge overall length (OAL).

Key Features

• 8-Station Capacity: Provides 8 individual stations to house complete multi-die setups (such as sizing, expanding, powder dispensing, seating, and crimping) for two to three calibres on a single plate.
• Preserved Die Settings: Eliminates the need to screw, unscrew, and readjust dies between reloading sessions, preserving exact headspace and seating depth settings.
• Standard Thread Fit: Threaded for industry-standard 7/8"-14 dies, ensuring compatibility with standard metric and imperial reloading die sets.
• Smooth Mechanical Interface: Interfaces directly with the press frame's thrust bearing detent mechanism to minimise tool-head deflection under heavy sizing pressures.
• Passive Mechanical Operation: Functions as a fully mechanical 0W accessory requiring no electrical power or connection.

Who is the Frankford Arsenal Precision Turret Only for?

• Multi-calibre batch reloaders — seeking rapid calibre changeovers using an 8-station tool head that holds complete die sets for multiple calibres simultaneously on a single Frankford Arsenal turret plate.
• Precision rifle handloaders — needing to lock in precise shoulder bump and bullet seating depth across standard 7/8"-14 threaded reloading dies without unscrewing them between sessions.

Less suitable for: High-volume production rates exceeding 500 to 1000 rounds per hour, which require a dedicated progressive reloading press; or setups using exceptionally wide or tall dies that require extra frame clearance during rotation.
