Shot Show 2013: Ten-X TX-50 50 BMG progressive press

[kombayotch]

The TX-50 is an auto-indexing progressive press for large caliber cartridges such as 50 BMG, 510 DTC, 460 Steyr and 416 Barret. A large primer conversion is also available for loading cartridges like 338 Lapua.

It features:

• Case-activated powder measure drops up to 250 gr. charges
• Powder check system
• Shell feeder
• Accepts up to 1-1/2" dies
• Lifetime Warranty

It reminds me of a big Dillon 650, except that the toolhead is not quick-change and requires you to undo 8 bolts.

The toolheads have both 1-1/2" and 7/8" dies locations in them, and I believe different configurations are available.


Price is $2450 for either the 50 BMG or LR primer setup. Primer conversion to either is $550 and additional toolheads (complete with powder drop and powder check) are $750

[vviking]

But .... But, .... there's only 250 grains of powder per drop.

Says who?

Who the hell shoots enough 50bmg to justify this?

 

[Beezer]

This press might sell well in the US where they shoot alot of .50 BMG through their Semi and F/A M2HB's. Now they might have to look into increasing the 250 grain maximum powder throw thought. Don't see them selling too many in Canada at that price though.

If you have a .50 cal what's a 3 or 4 more grand

If you have a .50 cal what's a 3 or 4 more grand

Almost the cost of another .50 cal, or 800 rounds of factory ammo, which is enough to last a LONG time.
