The Hornady Item #050072 Standard Micrometer is a versatile instrument that accurately measures minute distances for precise readings on bullets or objects up to 1 inch in size. It measures from 0–1″ in 0.0001″ increments with a ratchet stop that allows uniform pressure to enhance measurement repeatability. A spindle lock preserves measurement when removing the micrometer from the work piece, and the baked-enamel finish on the C-frame provides durability.
While a good caliper can take measurements down to .001″, a reloader requires a good micrometer to find the actual diameter of .001″, making this tool perfect for checking the diameter of cast bullets. The micrometer comes with a plastic storage case to protect it when not in use. An essential tool for reloaders and gunsmiths seeking precision measurement accuracy in their work.
