How to use calipers?
I read the other day where someone wrote "Use a micrometer because most people don't know how to use their thumb on a caliper." So, is there a special way to use calipers? Since just about everything I use my caliper on, in reloading, is hard, or mostly hard, metal don't I just have to place the object I am measuring and press closed with my thumb until the jaws (Just guessing they are called jaws) are in contact and take a reading? Can someone instruct me on how to use calipers?
