Which specific calibres can I reload using the FA-FX10SP2 shell plate?

The #2 shell plate is specifically designed to accommodate .308 Winchester and .45 ACP cartridges, as well as family cartridges sharing the same rim dimensions such as .243 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .30-06 Springfield. If you need to reload different rim sizes, such as 9mm or .223 Remington, you must switch to a different designated shell plate.

How does the #2 shell plate ensure smooth indexing during high-volume reloading sessions?

This 1.9 lb precision-machined stainless steel plate features integrated, high-precision ball bearings built directly into the assembly. These bearings guarantee an ultra-smooth transition between the press's 10 stations, which significantly reduces the mechanical jarring that often causes powder spillage from charged cases.

Does this mechanical reloading component require any electrical certification for use in Australia?

No, because the Frankford Arsenal FX-10 #2 Shell Plate is a purely mechanical steel component with no powered parts, standard Australian electrical certifications such as 240V compliance, SAA approvals, or RCM markings do not apply.

How should I store the shell plate when it is not in use on my reloading bench?

The plate ships in a custom, hard-plastic, hinge-top storage case designed to protect the precision-machined edges and integrated bearings from workshop dust, debris, and corrosion. Storing it in this case when swapping out calibres helps maintain its tight tolerances for future reloading sessions.

Who is the Frankford Arsenal Fx-10 # 2 Shell Plate 308win for?

High-volume rifle reloaders — who require a high-capacity 10-station platform to mass-produce .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition on the FX-10 press, utilizing this 1.9 lbs bearing-guided shell plate to eliminate powder spill during rapid indexing.
Pistol reloaders processing .45 ACP — who need to configure their progressive reloading press for large-calibre handgun rounds using a robust, 1.9 lbs stainless steel plate engineered specifically to feed these cases smoothly across all ten stations.

Less suitable for: reloaders operating any progressive or single-stage presses from other manufacturers, or those processing non-compatible cartridges like 9mm or .223 Remington, which require transitioning to different sized shell plates (such as the #0 or #4 plates) rather than this #2 model.
