[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 2166119, member: 108323"] No offense taken. To the point accuracy in this case is important when comparing to other calipers. For instance in this case if you measure a 0.500” gage block you might read .499” or .501” while another identical caliper would read a different value in that range. But if you are measuring multiple items trying to make them identical using the same caliper the absolute value isn’t important, as long as the readings are repeatable, ie the gage block measures the same every time you measure it. Most of use use our scales in much the same way we use tools such as comparators. We develop a load and arrive at the powder value based chronograph and target data. We want to repeat that load at other times. The actual grain loading is not important, until we begin to compare to publish max loads where the .1 grain accuracy is not significant. [/QUOTE]
