I did a search for this in this section and did not find a thread like this. I figured I would ask the guys that use these tools for a living....what brand of calipers do you use? I'm getting into reloading, and one thing I've noticed is how hard it seems to be for me to get a consistent reading on my Cabela's calipers. I do realize that a lot of the reading has to do with how good or bad the operator's measuring technique is, and I am working on that. I also know there are much better quality calipers out there, and since the main reason we hand load is for consistency to produce the best results, I should probably invest in a higher quality tool for the most important aspect of the hand loading process.
Right now I'm leaning towards Starrett since they're made in the USA (at least the expensive ones are). I don't know that I want to fork over $250 for calipers though.
