Re: Never Go Digital!
"I check my measurement tools against tool room brown and sharpe equipment that can really measure to .0001" all day long."
Goodness. And what you do applies to reloaders how? Nothing we do requires accuracy to a tenth and not many people can use any measurement tool with that level of precision. And you know it.
I have several Chinese calipers and a few micrometers. Checked against my Jo blocks the worst are off no more than a half thou and usually much better than that. I've used maybe two dozen of the Chinese calipers of various brands but have never seen even a Harbor Freight $10-12 caliper with the 10-30 thou inaccuracy you report, nor any with jaws out of square. In fact, I know some machine shops have gone to all HF caiipers, at a price rate of 10 to 20 times the price why not? Drop your B&S, etc, on concret and cry, drop a H.F. and shrug.
It matters not to me how much you're led to spend but suggesting reloaders should be ashamed to buy fully functional Chinese calipers and micrometers for less than $20 each is silly. I wonder if you've checked the 'made in' tag on your computer, modem, router, TV, digital camera or phone or ... a long list of other stuff.
