    I probably won't be getting a digital micrometer. I'm going to try a second-hand one and just hope I get one that's been cared for.

    OK, I'll give them a call today. It shouldn't be a problem if I've already used the mold? I'm sure there's no lead on the faces, I was pretty anal about getting that off after casting

    Yes, they were still wet when I attempted to size. I applied the LLA right before passing it through the sizer. Never in a million years would I have guessed that they would size better after the...

    Thanks MGySgt. I actually am having fun, even though I still haven't cranked out any usable boolits yet. This looks like a fun hobby that I'll be able to stick with for years

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm currently looking for something similar to replace my calipers. I'll report back on the size of the boolits when I actually have a mic to use.

    I'm assuming you mean "jacketed" by J-bullet (still learning [smilie=1: ) I wasn't sure if I could trust jacketed bullets to hold true to their nominal size. I'll give that a try, and then that'll...

    Indeed, some were water dropped. I'll have to double check to see if these are the ones that I was trying to size.

    Lloyd, I'd be interested to know what problems you had with your chronys. I'm leaning toward the Chrony Beta Master myself. Which models did you have? What were the issues?

    Thanks for the input guys. The Oehler looks amazing with it's 3 "skyscreens", but it's quite a bit more than I wanted to spend. The Chrony has my attention though.

    Thanks Brad. If they're all pretty much the same in the accuracy department, I guess I'll be looking toward the ones with the least amount of problems/quirks as people start to post their opinions.
