Looking to buy some high end digital calipers. Right now i use some cheap Titan digital calipers that i purchased at my local auto parts store. But i feel like its time to upgrade to something better. What are you guys using?
 
I believe the Mitutoyo 500-196-30 calipers are the go-to for reloading. They're actually one sale right now on Amazon, too.

I got these on Amazon 3 years ago for $35, and after heavy use, they've been totally reliable and accurate. You can spend more, and get better recognized brands, but I'm not sure you'll get better results.

So what is it about these calipers that are lacking? Is the accuracy not repeatable? Are they not smooth in their movement? Why do you believe they need to be upgraded?

I have these calipers and they work well, repeatable and consistent when compared side by side to my old analog Brown & Sharpe calipers. If you want to spend more look at Starrett but the Mitutoyo are a solid choice.
 
I have some older analog calipers. What I like about the Mitutuyo's is that they can zero and measure the delta easily.

I have the Mitutoyo 500-752-20 and like them really well... All, be careful buying Mitutoyo on Amazon, there are alot of Mitutoyo "CHYNA" knock offs out there...
Definitely, just make sure that it's shipped AND sold by Amazon.
