Would be interested in hearing comments on this collator vs a DAA Mr. Bulletfeeder. I picked up a Gen2 Mr. B and have it running fairly smoothly on the X-10. But I love the engineering behind the bullet seater/feeder of this unit. Here are some thoughts: 1. this is cheaper in the long run 2. Less wires to run (or at least cleaner installation of wires) 3. Saves a station on the tool head 4. Similar Warranty and single source of support 5. Possibility of future bullet sense (Mark 7) type of sensor/alarm built in (similar to the primer sensor) As additional calibers are released, I can def see where additional tool heads will come in handy for caliber changes. Great stuff Randall...Appreciate all you do!
I'm finishing up a primer alarm as we speak that will trigger the tool head alarm and flashing lights if a primer is missing before you make another stroke
@@bragginrightsprecisionrelo346 Ok my bad, I noticed the plastic piece that threads into the tool head was marked 10mm/40 so that was my conclusion that it would.. if not bummer
Hi Randall. Hope all is well. In regards to the above video, this will not work if you have the Mark 7 Powder Sensor Die. There is not enough room. I tried and it didn't work and had to revert back to my RCBS Powder Lockout Die. I think I'll try what you did by moving the powder over and then move the flare die over the primer. I'll see if that will open the tool head enough to run the Mark 7 powder sensor die.
Im hoping so. I have both the FA X10 bullet feeder and the Mark7 powder check coming in the mail this week. Any secrets to successful use of both you would like to share?
For me, the the bullet feeder works perfectly. But I could not get the powder checker to fit next to the bullet seating setup and the powder feeder. I'm still going to try again and see if I missed something. But for now the RCBS Lockout die works perfectly.@@anthonysmallwood5820
I’m seriously considering changing ammo production from Dillon to Frankford. I run a training business and shoot competitively. About 40k rounds of 9mm come off my Dillon press a year. My primary consideration is time savings. The 650 just requires tinkering about every 1500 rounds no matter what I do. Randal what day you?
I have not seen a progressive press you that does not require occasional tinkering, they are all mechanical machines with a lot of moving parts. There have been a few growing pains with the x10 being a new product as well but it is a great press once set up properly. It does have advantages over the 650 especially the amount of stations. Nothing wrong with the 650, it's a good machine but just not on the same level of ability as the x10. Another advantage to the x10 is the price...it's fairly easy to afford one for each caliber you load if you areca serious reloader as most competition shooters are.
I'm not sure I would put oil on those rollers. The bottom of the bullet rests on those, and you do not want oil in contact with your powder when seated in the case.

Thank you Randall. You are the x-10 go to man.
Yeah, Randal is the X-10 manual in bodily form
Thank you Randall for the great video, I can't wait to get mine. Hope you are doing well after your surgeries. Keep the info flowing 💪 🇺🇸
Another Great informative video!!! This will be a great help when Installing mine for sure!!!
Thank you my friend...hope it helps lots of people
👍
Thank you Randall.
Very welcome
Thanks for the video. Now if they would only come in stock
god to see that the 40 and the 10 can be done with the same one
I asked about that at one point and it was still an unknown...
it cannot be done with the same one...they are very caliber specific. 40 only works for 40...no 10mm available at this time unfortunately

Lots of people running the mark 7 battery operated powder check die with the bullet feeder
I'd like to see how they are doing this beause it has driven me nuts trying to make it work.@@bragginrightsprecisionrelo346

@@anthonysmallwood5820 i have an X10 coming and i debated about the RCBS or mark7, i went the rcbs.
Please, how do I can install case simulator and what is his function?
Tanks
any idea when they may be releasing a rifle caliber bullet feeder?
They have no set dates...not even a rough time frame unfortunately

Anyone tried these with RMR JHP’s?

You are only putting it on the ends, been running mine for around 6 months testing it with the FA engineers with zero issues
Like a Porche car, create a stupid problem, then overengineer to fix it...!!!
