So now that I have been doing this for a wile I would like to get set up with some of the more advanced tools to measure both bore related and case related items. Most concerned with being able to measure for OAL of a loaded round and know where I am in relationship to the lands. I have used the bullet in a fired case long enough and would like to have numbers instead of a guess. Also looking to get any other helpful devices for loading. I have built a setup for measuring bullet run out so I am set there. Who makes a decent dial caliper that isn't $300? I have several digital ones but would like a dial one as well.

you can usually pick up some mitutoyo for about 35 bucks.

I have a set of starrett and some Brown&Sharpe. I could probably be traded out of one of them pretty easily.
