The Frankford Arsenal X-10 .40 S&W Bullet Feed Conversion Kit (FA-FX10CK40SW) is a dedicated mechanical tooling assembly designed to enable automated bullet feeding and seating on the Frankford Arsenal X-10 Progressive Reloading Press. Engineered specifically for the .40 S&W cartridge, this assembly mounts directly into the proprietary 10-station X-10 tool head and interfaces with the motorized X-10 Bullet Feeder collator. By integrating bullet dropping and bullet seating into a single station, the kit frees up remaining stations on the progressive tool head for dedicated operations such as powder checks, swaging, or post-seating crimping dies.

Key Features

• Combined Feed and Seat Operation: Integrates bullet presentation and bullet seating into a single station on the 10-station X-10 tool head, conserving stations for auxiliary reloading operations.
• Integrated Micrometer Seating Die: Features a calibrated micrometer dial directly on the seating die assembly, allowing precise and repeatable adjustments to bullet seating depth and cartridge overall length (COAL).
• Complete Calibre-Specific Hardware: Includes a dedicated .40 S&W collator dial plate, a calibre-specific feed/shuttle assembly, a micrometer seating die, and the required feed tube and spring connector hardware.
• Passive Mechanical Interface: Operates mechanically via the press cycle and connects directly to the motorized X-10 Bullet Feeder collator without requiring independent electrical power or external wiring.

Who is the Frankford Arsenal X-10 Bullet Feeder Conversion Kit for?

• Competitive handgun reloaders — requires dedicated .40 S&W calibre tooling to automate high-volume projectile feeding and seating on a 10-station X-10 progressive tool head, using an integrated micrometer die to maintain strict cartridge overall length.
• IPSC and action pistol shooters — needs to maximize progressive throughput for .40 S&W match ammunition while consolidating feeding and seating into 1 station on the 10-station platform to leave room for dedicated powder-check and crimping stations.

Less suitable for: Reloaders loading 10mm Auto due to shuttle and bullet length constraints, or users operating standard 7/8 inch-14 threaded progressive presses from other brands; these setups require a calibre-matched 10mm Auto conversion kit or an aftermarket universal bullet feeder die designed for standard 7/8 inch-14 press threads.
