For years I've relied on my trusty Frankford Arsenal battery powered digital calipers to measure for me while reloading thousands of rounds of ammo. Friend gave me a lightly used pair of Lyman SS calipers (no batteries required) and I started to use them to measure OACL etc. Funny thing thou, both calipers measure differently. While trimming .223 cases to 1.750, tried and true FA calipers say 1.750, new kid on the block Lyman says 1.752, yikes! When measuring something of known diameter, like a Berry's 62 gr. bullet, FA says 223.5 and the Lyman says .224.
I feel so used and so wrong for so many years, who to believe and does it make THAT much difference?
Sad in Salem.
