[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 791507, member: 9215"] [I]"What I did learn was that you need a good pair of Calipers, not like the ones I bought 20 years ago from Midway for $20[/I] [I]I get a different reading each time[/I] ..." The Midway and other Chinese calipers are quite good, especially so for reloading needs, and the prices make it rational for everyone to have them. The skill/touch required to use calipers and micrometers accurately and consistantly isn't as simple as many seem to presume, especially so on a curved surface like a bullet ogive.
