    Which Digital Caliper Do You Use

    This has probably asked a million times, but I did a search and wasn't satisfied with the results.

    Looking for a good quality digital caliper and don't want the $10 or $300 models.

    Reloading handgun calibers and want to know what you experienced reloaders use.

    Thanks for your help!

            Sorry. Centech from HF ($10 w/coupon) is what I use. Used it at work too. The guys from the other groups would come borrow mine when the forgot to turn off the company supplied big $$$ Mitotoyu...

                I have a Lyman and love it. I also have a Hornady. I also have a dial caliper, forget the manufacturer. They all work really well. Of the three, I trust the Lyman best, Hornady second and the dial last.

                          OP, I've used dial calipers since 1968. And not once have the batteries gone dead.

                            Wouldn't even consider using digital when my dial calipers are already so precise.

                              Use what works......repeatably. As they get less expensive, they'll tend to be more sensitive to hand pressure on the jaws. Keep that in mind and all is well.
