I was an aerospace machinist for 10 years. Decided one day there were better ways to make money. Maybe I was a little premature in that decision but overall it’s worked out fairly well.I can tell you what I think you don't need, but there will be some objections.
Mostly from folks with Machinist or similar background's and / or those who are operating on the ragged edge in the pursuit of absolute accuracy. (Neither one applies to me)
IMHO, I'd be hard pressed to shoot the difference made by using a "professionally crafted top-dollar" caliper instead of my $30 got it off Amazon mechanical dial caliper. In my situation, the $30.00 caliper is the most cost-effective.
As always, YMMV.
That’s just some background to let you know I’m one of those folks you assume will insist a set of $400 calipers is “essential” reloading gear.
Have a look:
Those are the dial calipers I use for all of my reloading work. Do you recognize them? Midway USA. I got them on sale. Free shipping, too.
Be careful with assumptions.
