here is the one I've used for years!

If money is not a problem, by all means buy the higher end brands  :chuckle:  ITS just like why some people like Savage arms others like Brownings :chuckle:
Nice comparison  :chuckle:
$5 is a lot of money if you ain't got it

This is the one and only caliper I've been using for 32 years:

I wasn't sure what I've been using, so I just went and looked.  Sure enough, Lyman.   :tup:
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Thanks everyone for the input. I've been eyeing the RCBS digital calipers and wanted to see what others were using.

Me and RB used to work in machine shops with tolerances within' a half a thousands so we can't help the suggestion of higher end calipers  :dunno:  :chuckle:

The Frankfords work fine and you can't beat the price.
