[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 591340, member: 25383"] I'm a firm believer in the saying "you get what you pay for."That's why I throw most of my powder with the Harrell, but for much of the stuff I do the Lyman works just as well. Measuring equipment is another story in itself. I like the Mitutoyos for one reason alone; I can reset the zero in about three minutes (takes longer to find the brass shim that doing the job). Nothing wrong with digital calipers, and as I said I own some of them. But I also don't own junk. My goto mics are sixty years old, and still prefer them over the newer stuff (Lufkin with steel anvils). I recommended buying a set of small holes gauges because calipers will not measure I.D.'s accurately, and you can buy a complete set for about $35 (Mitutoyo). I have a Pact powder measurer setting in the box. I don't even know if it works! Never turned it on. I will one of these days just for the hell of it. Prior to that I used an Ohaus 304 beam scale, and it was OK. Yet I'm more comforable with the digital scales, and that's what counts for me. gary [/QUOTE]
