[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 130740, member: 8"] If you are new to reloading I suggest that most of the stuff you mentioned does not need to be measured at your point on the learning curve. You should not have to measure headspace, shoulder diameter nor base diameter. A decent set of reloading dies takes care of all of the brass measurements except case lenght and trim to lenght. Measuring bullet bearing surfaces, lenghts, weights etc is not very critical for shooting animals under 1000 yards. Seating depth is important. There are many Rube Goldberg methods of determining when a bullet actually contacts the lands that do not require buying any measuring tools. Once you know that you can pretty much work with the COL or keep a dummy round available for setting your seating die. [/QUOTE]
