If you are really, really, needing/wanting to measure precisely, you need to
use a micrometer, or other precision measuring instrument, but caliper isn't the tool!

I like when someone says" I slugged my barrel and it is .4425" on the lands and .4483" in the grooves"... "I'd be more precise with those numbers, but that's as accurate as my calipers will measure". I have to bite my tongue to keep from telling them that they're probably not within .002" on that.
