Frankford Arsenal Progressive Press Tool Head — Quick-Change, Die-Ready Plate for Progressive Setups | Model 1136231 | UPC 661120260097
Speed up your caliber swaps and protect your die settings with the Frankford Arsenal Progressive Press Tool Head. Designed as a quick-change, die-ready plate for Frankford Arsenal’s progressive platform (e.g., the X-10 Progressive Press), this dedicated tool head lets you pre-set dies and accessories for a specific load so caliber conversions take minutes—not hours. Build a repeatable, efficient workflow for pistol or rifle, then snap in the right tool head and get back to making quality ammo.
Why Reloaders Choose the Frankford Arsenal Tool Head
Quick-change convenience — Keep complete die sets pre-installed; switch calibers fast without chasing adjustments.
Die setting preservation — Lock in sizing, seating, and crimp depths so your precision stays consistent from session to session.
Progressive press optimization — Configure stations the way you like (decap/size, expand, powder drop, seat, crimp, etc.) and save the layout for instant reuse.
Clean, organized workflow — Label each tool head by caliber or bullet, reduce bench clutter, and minimize setup errors.
Frankford Arsenal compatibility — Built to integrate with the brand’s progressive press ecosystem for smooth, repeatable indexing and alignment.
Build a Faster, More Repeatable Reloading System
If you’re loading multiple calibers—or just want a dedicated setup for match ammo versus practice rounds—an extra tool head is the smartest upgrade you can make. Pre-install your die stack, set your crimp, dial in seating depth, and verify your expander—then remove the entire assembly as one unit. Next session, drop the tool head back in and start loading with minimal re-tuning, saving time and preserving consistency.
Ideal For
High-volume loaders who switch between 9mm, .223/5.56, .308, and more
Competition shooters maintaining separate die setups for match vs. bulk ammo
Precision reloaders who value repeatability and want to eliminate unnecessary adjustments
New progressive users building a scalable, caliber-modular bench
Setup Tips (General Guidance)
Plan your station order (decap/size → expand → powder → seat → crimp, etc.) before installing dies.
Lock each die once your measurements are verified; record the settings in your logbook.
Label the tool head by caliber, projectile, and notable die notes (e.g., “124gr JHP, 1.120” OAL”).
Test a short run after any reinstall to confirm OAL, crimp, and charge—then scale up.
Safety First: Always follow reliable load data from trusted manuals; verify powder charges frequently and wear appropriate eye protection.
