What calipers are you using?

[Tele]

So I went the cheapo route and bought a 10 dollar caliper at harbor freight. Boy was that a mistake, it would not return to zero and while decreasing inches it would increase on the digital scale.

Basically I am looking for recommendations on calipers. I have heard and seen on youtube that frankford arsenal calipers are decent. Dillon has a 30 dollar caliper in their catalog.

What are you using for your reloading measurements?

I use a set of digital ones from cabelas. Under $30 if I remember right.

Got a Kanon dial years ago as a gift that I use a lot for loading. When I trim brass and do a lot of measuring I grab one of my Mitutoyo IP67 electronics.

I had great luck with the step up from Harbor Freight for years in my garage, so when I wanted a set for my reloading bench, I just picked up another set.

The inexpensive Frankford Arsenal digital calipers I bought at King Shooters Supply along with reloading equipment work fine. A must for measuring bullet OAL and case dimensions.

When you need precise measurements, you can't fudge with quality instruments. I'm a retired tooling engineer, with 20 prior years as a prototype machinist, so my opinion should matter: Go with the good stuff.
I have Mitutoyo and Brown & Sharpe carbide-lined jaw calipers and trust them completely.

Starrett... Buy it once and don't look back.

Harbor Freight el Cheapo digital. I've used it for years. It works fine. You must have gotten a bad one,or I found the only good one on the shelf that day.
