I have $400 invested in calipers and they are certainly useful. That said this device will perform many of their functions and do it very quickly. Think of this as a pistol BBL with the BBL cut off so you have only the chamber that is machined to maximum over all cartridge length. Simply insert your finished cartridge into the "chamber". Visually check primer height and look at the opposite end to ensure seated bullit does not extend past the top. In about one second you have just confrimed that your cartrige will chamber, the case length is within spec., primer is seated and over all cartridge length is correct. I can certainly do that with the calipers at each stage of the operation but that is way more time consumming!! I can check a box of 50 9mm in a few minutes. As an added bonus it is small enough to fit in the die box along with the dies.
