I just got a digital caliper in order to start reloading. Just for curiosity I took out some .38 spl cases that I had saved. I decided to try out the calipers by measuring the overall length of the case.
What I don't get is that all the cases are about 1.145 inches instead of the 1.155 that I see in the manuals.
Do I not know how to measure with the calipers, or, are they not accurate, or is Federal Ballisticlean .38spl +p cases known to be short?
Thanks in advance.
