That won't work. Bullet and case weights can vary more than many powder charges.

I prefer the digital 6" caliper that can be zero'd at any position. This is a handy feature for comparing sizes/changes.

Virtually all digital calipers are made elsewhere and most in China.

The $20 Harbor Freight caliper often is on sale for $10-$12. It rounds to the nearest .0005" . I've checked the two I have against a good mechanical caliper and they are within .001" or less. They will not last as long as a high quality Starret or others. They are cheaper to relace many times for the price of the Starret
