[QUOTE="9.3davison, post: 2992357, member: 103241"] A friend of mine reloads and he owned a cheap set of digital calipers and did not realize they were very inconsistent. When seating bullets, he assumed his seating die was faulty and adjusted the seat die for every round in that group of hand loads. Upon firing the rifle, one of the rounds pushed the bullet into the rifling and it over pressured enough to split his stock. Of course he stopped reloading until we discovered what was going on (also why it is important to have a mentor or at least someone with reloading knowledge). He did not realize a precision measuring instrument could fail. [/QUOTE]
