Description
If you run a progressive press and hate stopping mid-session to refill primers, this is the fix. The Frankford Arsenal X-10 Small Primer Tube Kit comes as a set of three tubes, with each one holding 100 small primers. That means you can pre-load 300 primers ahead of time and feed them in one after another without breaking stride. Anyone who loads in volume knows that every pause to top off the primer system eats into your output, and having spares staged and ready makes a real difference over a long session.
What the X-10 Small Primer Tube Kit Does on the Bench
These tubes are built for small primers, which covers a huge chunk of the most common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm, .223, and .38 Special. While they're designed and named for the Frankford Arsenal X-10 progressive press, the tubes are made to work with any progressive press on the market, so they're a solid pickup even if you're running a different setup that uses standard primer tubes. The whole idea here is simple: fill them up before you start, keep them within arm's reach, and swap a fresh one in the second you run dry.
Why Extra X-10 Primer Tubes Are Worth Keeping Around
If you've only got one tube, you're stuck pausing to reload it every hundred primers. With three in the rotation, you fill them all at once, usually with a vibratory primer filler or by hand, then just drop them into the press as needed. It's one of those low-cost additions that pays you back in smoother, faster loading days.
Frankford Arsenal builds its press parts and reloading gear from quality components meant to hold up to regular use, and these tubes are a replacement or spare kit for folks who want to keep spares on hand or bring a worn set back to fresh. For high-volume loaders chasing consistent round counts, staging primers ahead of time is one of the easiest wins on the bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many primers does the X-10 Small Primer Tube Kit hold?
Each of the three tubes holds 100 small primers, giving you 300 staged and ready before you start a session. Loading them all up ahead of time cuts down on stops once you're running the press. It's an easy way to keep your round count moving.
Will these tubes work on presses other than the Frankford Arsenal X-10?
Yes. While the kit is named and designed for the X-10 progressive press, Frankford Arsenal states the tubes work with any progressive press on the market. If your setup uses standard primer tubes, these will fit right into your workflow.
Are these for small or large primers?
This kit is made specifically for small primers, which covers popular rounds like 9mm, .223, and .38 Special. Frankford Arsenal also offers a separate kit sized for large primers if you load cartridges that use those instead.
What's the point of buying extra X-10 primer tubes?
Having multiple tubes lets you pre-fill several at once so you can swap a fresh one in the moment you run out, rather than stopping to reload a single tube every hundred primers. This keeps a long loading session flowing with less downtime. Many high-volume loaders fill them with a vibratory primer filler to speed things up even more.
