[QUOTE="Super Dave, post: 2734899, member: 8429"] I use Mitutoyo. I have two single revolution, and one half revolution dial. I don't remember how I ended up with the half dial. All three are 8". I have a couple of 6", but seldom use them. Most of my micrometers are Mitutoyo, Browne and Sharp, Eaton, and so on, but I do have a few cheap-o 6" calipers and micrometers that live around the machinery for rougher parts, or God forbid someone that wants to use one. A guy had to buy me a new 8" Mitutoyo after he flung it on the floor, not paying attention. They were $150 back then. All that said, to measure a case, or bullet for reloading, if you take care of it, some cheapo Enco, or Central that are NOT made of plastic will probably suit your needs just fine. They are usually consistent the first couple of inches, and accurate withing .001", which is all a guy needs for stuff like reloading. It's when they are wide open that they begin to be a tad "off."
