[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1371676, member: 4191"] I measure case head expansion all the time with a 0.001” caliper, and find it completely sufficient. Measuring +/- 0.0002” is plenty good enough, and that can be done with a decent 0.001” caliper. All the other signs of high pressure will be realized as case head expansion climbs past 0.0005” in my experiences. But 0.0005” isn’t yet dangerous. It does confirm you’re approaching the end of the road - pressure wise. [/QUOTE]
