Just getting started to reloading, the correct way. Before I was just loading from the hip, but I have been learning from books and this site and am ready to begin.
Anyway, looking at all this brass on my counter and wondering if I need to use the calipers on every case? It seems like I would be measuring case-lengths all day. If one case is .001" off from another, does it matter? What is an acceptable variance on length? Do people set them on a flat surface and just "eyeball" them and measure the ones that might be off a bit? If not, how long is it taking you all to caliper say 500 cases?
