Frankford Arsenal X-10 Progressive Press ~ Let's Unbox This Together!

[@jamesa5720]

I laughed out loud at the beginning of your video as you struggled with the really heavy box. My press delivered on the only day in months that I was out of town, and my wife calls me and says there is a box on the doorstep that is too heavy for her to move. I said that she was just being silly and that the box only weighed 65 lbs so she could at least just slide it into the hallway. She said she couldn't and I accused her of being over dramatic, ha. She ended up asking the next door neighbor for help. I got home the next day and am still apologizing. Thanks for your video.

Good ol Benny is excited. Thank you lord for our best buds.

[@GunBlue490]

You bet

[@midnightsailor1]

That is one awesome press...I thought my Lee Turret press was beefy. Nice to see Benny getting into the action too. Waiting to see how that 1911 shots with those loads you developed. To much rain here on Long Island too.

[@vdog4799]

It sucks getting old! I have the same problem now😂 It's really uplifting to see you still have Benny, my friend! God Bless

[@thomaswlawrence]

Great video… very nice press…!

[@leonardjanda6181]

You’re going to love ❤️ that machine 👍

[@rancelynch6514]

Thanks for the unboxing….can’t wait to see the unit in use. Benny is a good baby. I love the way he was talking to you. He never stopped wagging his tail, I think he wanted a treat!

[@Mjdeben]

My grandparents had that same grandfather clock. Good memories. Nice press too!

[@johnknouse8846]

I really love all my Frankford Arsenal reloading tools. I use their hand priming tool, their powder funnel kit, and their micrometer seating die, on 90% of my rifle hand loads. And my first ever digital scale was a Frankford Arsenal pocket scale, which I still have, and last time I checked it, it read exactly the same as my more expensive RCBS Chargemaster. If I ever get a progressive press, it will probably be that one.

Benny’s tail wagging just made my evening 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻…my Addie thinks every time the UPS or FEDX driver comes onto my porch they are delivering her some treats from Amazon..she loves them at the door 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 and they love her wiggles 😊😊😊

[@GunBlue490]

They soon learn who their delivery friends are! Benny has always enjoyed opening boxes since he was a pup. Very curious guy.

[@disturbedmaynard3873]

Pretty nice looking piece of machinery. Kind of wish you could send some of that rain west, as we could use it in my area.

[@lens7859]

Awesome, good luck with your new press ! I heard good things about Franklins entry into the press arena. Please let us know how it goes.

[@diggernash1]

Your mix of humor, good spirit, and information is excellent.

[@GunBlue490]

Thank you kindly!

[@keimolantio]

Really waiting for next episodes!

Going to be a great series. Thank you for the video.

[@tallyman15]

Looking forward to the set-up

[@ronnydowdy7432]

Very enjoyable to see Benny show such interest in what are you doing. Lol. The tail wagging is PRICELESS.

[@dannyfowler7055]

Love the enthusiasm my friend! Nice to see us old guys still get excited LOL. Be Well, can’t wait to see you run the Franklin.

[@doval888]

Muchas gracias por tus videos sobre la X10. Ayer llegó a mi casa, la que segun Brownells, es la primera X10 que se vende en España. Estoy siguiendo tus videos para montarla y ajustarla. Muchas gracias por tu trabajo.

[@uralbob1]

That is a beautiful piece of equipment! Frankfort Arsenal is really upping their game. Benny doesn’t look 12 at all. My pup is not quite 10, and she’s getting grey around the muzzle. Thanks for this fun video!

[@carlnoffke3372]

Congrats GB, you deserve it!!! Thanks for the great videos and for imparting your wealth of knowledge on us.

[@gonzogriff]

Holy smokes, that looks like an awesome press. I can't believe I have never heard of it either. Got into silhouette shooting a year ago and consequently got into reloading hah. Thankful for creators such as yourself!

[@patmancrowley8509]

Worthy Brother, I heard Bennie say that all that he could smell was oil, steel and padding.

[@roul3688]

Seems like a good value. $899 for all that? And it’s not made of plastic? I might be looking for one of these.

[@lawrencehudson9939]

Great presentation. I don't need one, (I have six Stars) but I want one.

[@albatro2676]

Congrats ! But, I thought you will going to go with the Lee Six Pack Pro 6000 !! What did you do with your Lee Loadmaster ??

[@catfishsiegel30]

Nice looking press sir . I personally like dillion presses. Have reloaded million or so rds nary a problem and when I hang issues dillion stands behind their products. 😊

[@nohillforahighstepper]

Maybe eat Buckwheats instead of Wheaties? Do they even make Buckwheats anymore? Probably not... Thanks for letting us ride along. 😊😊😊

[@jeanmichelgrg221]

Benny aime bien les nouveaux colis..

[@ryridesmotox]

Me: man I wish someone I liked to watch and trusted would get the new FA progressive. Gunblue: hold my colt gold cup

[@jarheadlife]

Nice looking press! Can’t wait to see it up running!

[@mikenkaleigh]

Nice press, I was in the market for a progressive press a year ago, and considered the x10 but there were not too many options from any manufacturer in stock, and I ended up getting an rl1100. It is a nice machine but crazy expensive. Mine is set up for 9mm with lyman Pro dies. Never got a bad round from it. I would recommend those dies so you can separate all the stages of reloading, and the expanding die expands the case (9mm) further down the case to work better with cast bullets and not swag the bullets down while seating. I have reloaded for 10 years on a single stage and turret, and the rl1100 was a steep learning curve. Thanks for making videos like this. Because this really helps people figure this stuff out, I was watching videos while setting mine up for all the tricks.

[@roddecker1900]

Relate to benny on the carpet❤

[@callawayken650]

Seems like something they should have put into a couple of boxes. I enjoy listening to the Cardinals play ball and cranking out loads on my Dillon Square Deal b. I do not think I could shoot as many bullets as this Franklin is going to crank out. I do not do wasteful mag dumps. Well, maybe a little, Cowboy Action Shooting has me shooting 10 rounds in a few seconds from different guns. Still, less than 150 rounds per six stage match.

[@TikkaT3x]

I do need some general advice. Shooting a new 30-06 with a 1:11 twist. In the range of 150 to 180 weight bullets. What would be a good powder to start with IMR 4350, IMR 4064? The old fellow that taught me to reload has since passed away. Good video!

[@peterhert9350]

IMR 4350. Get the online manual from Hodgdon and the online manual from vihtavuori ( to compare powder and data).

[@peterhert9350]

I use ( Europpe) vihtavuori, RWS, Reload Swiss and IMR. So I have several solutions. I recommend the program Qickload for calculating.

[@TikkaT3x]

@@peterhert9350 I appreciate your help. I really do!

[@TikkaT3x]

@peterhert9350 Awesome! Thanks buddy!

[@GunBlue490]

There are many great powders from which to choose for medium bullet weights in the venerable 30-06 that extend far and wide beyond what was available 35 years ago. While the powders you cited are terrific, don't feel constrained to IMR powders. I have become very fond of the Reloder series of powders by Alliant, and R-19 is superb in the '06, as well as slightly faster R-17 and slower R-22. Hodgdon H-414, though discontinued, is still available and is one of the most efficient and accurate. Big Game is another popular choice. Hodgdon H4350, H4895, BL-C(2), H335, and Varget are all top choices.

[@johnmccrea8106]

Benny was telling you what was in there!!!! He can’t wait to use it!!! Ha ha ha!! Good luck with it and use it in hood health

[@BigT27295]

Wow thats a beast. Could put a motor on it.

[@charlesmullins3238]

Still good people in this world….but I envy yer new machine…my poor little countertop wouldn’t hold 50lb….my 4 hole lee keeps on chuggin….

[@mp9228]

Is that a reloading press or an engine block

[@GunBlue490]

I think the designer must have designed engine blocks at one time!

[@H.R.6688]

Lol, as somebody with a terrible bad back, I know that feeling all too well. Only 37 unfortunately.

Wow, Dillan has a press in stock for a youtuber. Guess he even got carbide dies too. I am sure you will make good use of that, grats

[@patcoder7308]

Benny could benefit from cbd chews

[@GunBlue490]

Benny has no anxiety issues. He's a very relaxed, but social dog who looks forward to his traditional daily events throughout the day, and is very outspoken when it's time for me to get with the program! He knows what time it is, but occasionally moves his clock forward, especially after I've been working on a project for a while. I'd say that he's taking care of me and wants me to take a break. 😃

[@alexanderwilson527]

Ms Blue must be non territorial to let that be unpacked in the kitchen

[@GunBlue490]

Who said the kitchen is her territory? Who's doing the cooking in my videos? 😅
