The Frankford Arsenal FX-10 Pistol Bullet Feeder (Manufacturer Part Number: 1135900 / Model: FA-FX10BF) is a dedicated accessory designed to automatically feed and orient handgun projectiles during high-volume reloading sessions. Engineered exclusively for mounting directly to the Frankford Arsenal FX-10 (X-10) 10-station progressive reloading press, this collator system integrates directly into the tool head. When paired with a caliber-specific conversion kit, it feeds and seats bullets within the exact same station, freeing up other stations on the press for auxiliary operations such as powder checking or separate crimping dies.

Key Features

• Automatic Shut-Off: Features an integrated sensor that automatically toggles the collator motor on or off based on the bullet levels inside the feed tube.
• Sound-Reducing Lid: Equipped with a specialized lid designed to dampen the noise generated by tumbling projectiles during operation.
• Reduced Bench Clutter: Connects directly to the FX-10's existing power distribution, drawing its power routing from the primary case feeder system to keep the reloading bench clear.
• Pistol Calibre Compatibility: Configured out of the box for pistol-length calibres, specifically 9mm Luger, .38 Super, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP.

Specifications

• Model/SKU: FA-FX10BF (MPN: 1135900)

Who is the Frankford Arsenal FX-10 Pistol Bullet Feeder for?

• High-volume competitive pistol shooters — require an automated bullet feeding solution with a working hopper capacity of 300 bullets to streamline reloading cycles for handgun calibres like 9mm Luger and .45 ACP without manual projectile placement.
• Frankford Arsenal FX-10 progressive press operators — require a progressive reloading press bullet feeder designed to integrate directly with their existing press power system while fitting within a vertical clearance limit of 4 feet (1.2 meters) above the reloading bench.

Less suitable for: reloaders who require an out-of-the-box plug-and-play setup without purchasing separate accessories, as this unit requires a caliber-specific X-10 Bullet Feed Caliber Conversion Kit to function, or operators who load batches exceeding the 300-bullet capacity limit, which can bog down the 12V motor; for these scenarios, a manual hand-feeding reloading press setup or a universal standalone collator system is more appropriate.
