The Frankford Arsenal X-10 Shell Plate #1 is the part you grab when you want to run .38 Special or .357 Magnum on the X-10 progressive press. It drops into place during a caliber changeover and gets you back to cranking out rounds without a lot of fuss. The plate is machined from solid stainless steel, so it holds its tolerances and shrugs off the wear that comes with volume reloading.
The real story here is the integrated ball bearing setup. Progressive presses live and die by smooth, repeatable indexing, and this plate rotates clean through each station to keep powder in the cases and bullets sitting straight. That consistency matters most when you're loading revolver ammo in bulk and don't want to stop and brush spilled powder off the shell plate every few pulls.
Shell Plate #1 is laser marked right on the plate for the calibers it handles, which takes the guesswork out of grabbing the right one off the shelf. This #1 is set up for the .38 Special and .357 Magnum family, which share the same case head, so both run on this single plate. If you shoot a lot of wheelgun rounds, this covers a big chunk of the range day in one piece. Pairing it with the matching tool head lets you jump between calibers on the X-10 quickly.
Every X-10 shell plate ships in its own hinge-top storage case. It keeps the plate free of grit and bench clutter between sessions, which is a small thing that pays off when you've got several plates for different calibers and want to keep them organized and ready to run.
Shell Plate #1 is built for .38 Special and .357 Magnum. Both cartridges share the same case head dimensions, so they run on this one plate. The .38 Long Colt also uses this same case head family, so it shares the plate as well.
No. This plate is designed specifically for the Frankford Arsenal X-10 progressive press and its gear-driven, auto-indexing shell plate system. It is not cross-compatible with other brands of progressive presses.
Yes. Each X-10 shell plate ships in its own hinge-top storage case. It keeps the plate clean and organized on the bench when it's not loaded in the press.
The ball bearings let the plate index smoothly from one station to the next under load. That smooth rotation helps reduce powder spillage and keeps seated bullets from tipping, which is a big deal when you're loading in volume on a progressive press.
