[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 979698, member: 3099"] I wouldn't trade by beam scale for a digital under any circumstances. The beam is cheap AND reliable. As for calipers Mitutoyo and Brown & Sharpe are both excellent but the ultimate are the Starrett vernier calipers. Most people don't know how to read them, but they are the velvety smoothest there is, and they have no dials or electronics to fail. The only thing that comes close are the Swiss made Brown & Sharp's. And any of these three are the cats meow for reloading. Don't forget to get a good 0-1" micrometer with a standard too. You should be able to pick up a nice name brand set of calipers AND a micrometer in a pawn shop for well under $75 and maybe under $50 if you are patient and are a good bargainer. 6" calipers and 0-1" micrometers are a dime a dozen to the pawn brokers.
