[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 969604, member: 12"] IF you are measuring only jackets without a bullet core in them, then a ball micrometer is the tool. IF you are trying to measure the completed bullet diameter (which is what it sounds like), a blade micrometer is a better tool than a caliper. If you are truely finding a .001 to .002 variance, my bet it is more the variance in the tools ability to measure vs actual diameters. IF you are trying to measure the jacket thickness AFTER a core has been seated, then forget it. Not going to happen with any degree of accuracy. [/QUOTE]
