Good morning Russ,
I got my new calipers yesterday. They are a composit material made by Pittsburg. 6" digital that reads in inches or MM. It can read inside or outside measurements and has a zero button. It sure gives me more confidence for OAL when I'm reloading.
Now all I'm waiting for is the electronic pocket scale.
Hope your sunday is going well.
Bob
They are great. I measured the 38 special shells for OAL and was right on. if you remember I used the OAL of the commercial cartridge. They were 1.2, mine were 1.4. I adjusted the ones I made to 1.2 but I don't think that would have made a difference with the revolver.
