Frankford Arsenal #19 Shell Plate for X-10 Press (.40 S&W/10mm)

Description

If you run a Frankford Arsenal X-10 progressive press and reload pistol calibers, the #19 shell plate is the part that gets you cranking out .40 S&W, 10mm Auto, and .38 Super. It's machined from solid stainless steel and drops right into the X-10, so changing over from one caliber to another is quick instead of a chore. The calibers are laser etched right into the plate, which makes grabbing the correct one off the shelf a no-guess situation.

What the #19 Shell Plate Brings to the Bench

The real story here is the integrated ball bearings. They let the plate index smoothly as the press cycles, and that smooth rotation is what keeps powder from sloshing out of charged cases and bullets from tipping before they get seated. On a 10-station progressive like the X-10, consistent indexing is everything, and a well-machined plate like this one keeps every station lined up where it should be.

Fitment and Caliber Coverage for the F-10 / X-10

This is the #19 plate, part number 1135905, and it's cut specifically for the .40 S&W, 10mm Auto, and .38 Super family of cases. It's a proprietary design built only for the Frankford Arsenal X-10 progressive press, so it won't swap into other brands of presses. If you've already got the X-10 and want to add one of these calibers to your rotation, this is the plate that gets you there.

Stainless construction means it holds up to regular use and resists the wear you'd expect from steady reloading sessions. Frankford Arsenal also ships it with a hinge-top storage case, so when a plate isn't in the press it stays clean, organized, and easy to find the next time you change calibers. For folks who reload more than one handgun round, having your plates labeled and stored this way saves a surprising amount of fumbling.
