[QUOTE="71buickfreak, post: 1681375, member: 8373"] I use calipers and mics all the time. I learned how to use them when I was in R&D, now I use them for my engine builds. I would actually suggest a set of mics over calipers for measuring cartriges and the like. Calipers can be tricky to get repeatable measurements on curved surfaces. A micrometer, however will work very well for this. Calipers will work, but I think mics would be better. For reference, the accuracy of the chinese digital calipers is spot on. I have checked mine with the standards for my mics. I have a starrett dial caliper, the $20 digital set is just as accurate. Would I build a space shuttle with $20 digital mic measurements? no, but I think it will be fine for measuring tolerances for engine building and ammunition. [/QUOTE]
