[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1502846, member: 4191"] Well Hodgdon is not speaking with a sharp tool or tongue, because they also state a 0.0001" capable measuring instrument "must" be used when monitoring case web expansion. And I've successfully measured and monitored case web expansion on 500-1000 casings over the years using nothing more than a quality 0.001" dial caliper. The Hodgdon author either needs reading glasses, or he actually believes it necessary to identify 0.00005" case expansion. Why? For what purpose? When even case head expansion up to 0.001" has never led to death or dismemberment. Things don't even start to get 'interesting' until 0.002" case web expansion, and all that will do is shorten primer pocket life. When you blow a primer loose from the pocket, you'll be at more than 0.004" case head expansion. Hodgdon must make money selling 0.0001" measuring tools. [/QUOTE]
