I am holding a Lyman Vernier (the manual one, not digital or electronic) Reloader's Micrometer, and have it set exactly correctly upon a .458 Barnes Solid slug.
For the life of me, it measures .457.
IS that right?
or am i reading it incorrectly?
The directions are not too clear on the package insert. Can anyone help me to read the thing????
Its easy to get to .45 (i.e the hundredths of an inch place, the .00 point), but the thousandth and ten-thousandths of an inch (the .000 and .0000 place, the "8" in .458) i am confused on as the numbers are sideways and no big arrow points clearly to a "read here" line.
Thanks for your help.
