[QUOTE="Adikted, post: 1377955, member: 91925"] I use a Lyman dial caliper, I've replaced it once because I dropped the first one too many times. I like an analog dial over digital readout, I trust it more. A comparator is primarily used for measuring bullet seating depths off of the ogive which is more consistent than the tips, you can also use them to measure fired cases and set your sizing dies up. Like I said initially, a comparator isn't necessary right out of the gate. If you bring some once fired brass and the rifle with you we can measure it all up here and you can get an idea of what you're after. [/QUOTE]
