Might as well pick up their micrometer while your at it so you can double check measurements in the future. That 20% off coupon helps.
No. I measured 140 gr ELD for 6.5 CM where the box said .264" diameter and the diameter was exactly that when I measured it. Well... the calipers bounced a little between .2635 and .2640 but you know... my digital calipers are technically rated to be accurate to within .001"
.262" is incorrect. Maybe you measured it wrong / need to calibrate your device?
which one do you recommend ?Calipers are not ideal for this type of measurement. I’ve had very good brand calipers that would be dead nuts on a 1” gauge block and off by .001 or .002 when measuring bullet diameter.
Micrometers will give you more consistent results.
which one do you recommend ?
