Description

The Frankford Arsenal M-Press is a co-axial single stage press built for folks who care about how straight their ammo comes out. Instead of a fixed shell holder, the case sits on a floating shell-holder plate that rides between two parallel guide rods. That lets the case and die find a common centerline on every stroke, which is the whole point of a co-axial setup and why it does such a good job keeping runout low. Reloaders running a runout gauge on calibers like 5.56, 6.5 Grendel, and .308 have reported genuinely tight numbers once their case prep and seating routine are dialed in.

What Sets the M-Press Co-Axial Apart

The universal shell holder system is a real convenience feature. A turn of the dial takes you from small pistol brass all the way up to magnum rifle cases, so you are not hunting through a box of caliber-specific shell holders every time you change jobs. The frame opening and ram stroke are generous enough to handle the big magnum stuff without fighting it, and the whole thing is cast with a stout footprint that does not hang off the front of your bench.

Die Blocks, Handle, and the Built-In Light

Three removable die blocks ship in the box, each accepting standard 7/8"-14 dies with a lock screw so your settings return to the same spot every time you swap. You can keep a sizing die in one, a seater in another, and a crimp die in the third, then change operations in seconds. The top-mounted handle is ambidextrous and gives you plenty of leverage for stubborn brass, and it can be set up to cam over or run as a positive hard stop depending on how you like to work. There is also an integrated LED that lights up the work area, powered through a micro-USB connection so you can see exactly what is happening down in the die.

Who Gets the Most Out of the M-Press

This press rewards a methodical process. Pair it with good case prep, consistent neck tension, and a repeatable seating routine and the co-axial floating design will do its part to keep your loaded rounds concentric. It is a strong pick for the precision rifle crowd and anyone who values alignment as the foundation of accurate handloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the M-Press a co-axial press instead of a standard single stage?

Rather than locking the case into a fixed shell holder, the M-Press floats the case on a shell-holder plate that rides between two parallel guide rods. That lets the case and die self-align on a common centerline with every stroke. The result is reduced bullet runout and more concentric loaded ammunition.

What size dies does the Frankford Arsenal M-Press take?

It accepts standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies, so your existing die sets will work right out of the gate. The press ships with three removable die blocks, each with a lock screw that holds your adjustment. You can set one up for sizing, one for seating, and one for crimping to move between steps quickly.

Can the M-Press load both pistol and rifle cartridges?

Yes. The universal shell holder adjusts with the turn of a dial to run everything from small pistol brass up to large magnum rifle cases. The generous frame opening and ram stroke give you room to work even the big magnum cartridges without binding.

Does the M-Press cam over or use a hard stop?

You get both. The handle can be configured to cam over or to run as a positive hard stop, and switching between the two takes only a couple of minutes. Many reloaders set it to a hard stop for repeatable seating depth, while the cam-over setting suits other operations.
