Calipers

RCBS dial. Nothing special. Entirely sufficient.

I have a couple of different ones. $20 and $150 ones, the $20 Franfort Arsenal ones read just as accurate for reloading as the expensive ones do.

I have found for 99+% of the things I do around the house, the calipers and micrometers I have rescued from the metrology "discard table" at work are more than capable . I machined and ground some standards for occaissional verification, but I haven't had to adjust anything I have brought home after the initial rehab process. If you treat them like the precision tool they are, and don't drop them, they will provide you many years of reliable service.

I have been using a Lyman Digital for a year and the repeatability is great. Bought it at Bass Pro here in Denver for around $75.00 bucks I think. You're not fretting about the small stuff, I had to try three before I got one I liked. Handy tool for all kinds of measurement besides in your reloading shop. You need one you can trust.

Likewise. My HF reads and has stayed in spec just as well as the Lyman i have. Looked at a few different ones over time, guess what. all mfg in CHINA. Every single $%^&* one CHINA.
