Ok i am looking at buying a test micrometer that reads in .0001. I dont know what test micrometer to buy, nor do i know if i need to spend the big bucks for a brown sharp, or sterrat or other high end maker. I have looked at several of the import models for around 75 bucks but are they a waste of money? I have asked this question privately to a couple of men i respect wholeheartedly, and there responses have been somewhat mixed. I am currently looking at a Fowler test mic, as they seem pretty middle of the road on price. I am using the grizzly rod method to chamber barrels and i would like to hear some personal experiences with high end and middle of the road test mics for this application. Do i need the best to do what we are doing? What do you fellas know about the Fowler test mic? any info is appreciated. Also this will probably be subjected to personal opinion but do we really need a mic that reads .0001 when most of our machines wont even hold this kind of tolerance? Lee
