If you look on Mitutoyo's website, they clearly spell out that the calipers are advertised as accurate to .001 but the display resolution is to .0005. The former number is more important than the latter.
A caution - a while back on a similar thread, there were numerous reports about counterfeit Mitutoyo calipers being sold at authentic through Amazon and other sources. I don't know if anything's been done about this but given the cost, it's worth making sure we are actually getting a genuine Mitutoyo.
This is what I use. Father in law gave it to me, is it any good ? I honestly have no clue lol I used to have a Frankford Aresenal the last time I was into reloading.I am not sure what you are considering cheap ones (Frankford Arsenal, Hornady, RCBS, ~$25-30 for the digital, etc.), but if you can afford the Mitutoyo go for it.
that is a great price if no one buys it they are missing a great opertunityI have a dial indicator Starrett that I bought in 1985 (for $25...and I had the option to buy 2–wish I had). Still works like new. As others have said, "buy once, cry once." You won't regret getting quality.
