Is this caliper good?
It's the least expensive one, but if it's junk, I'd like to know.

It's the exact one I have. Yes it's cheap but it is good and more than adequate for what it's intended for. I will admit that I have retired this one for a digital caliper, but only because the digital was a gift from a reloading friend. You picked a winner.

ditto here. Reloading Calipers do not need to be near the quality as for machine work.

Check out Harbor Freight Tools they sell a similar caliper to that one that you can get on sale for about 12-15 bucks. I have one it works fine and is quite accurate.

You did good. Both of them will work well for you.

Whatever you do, don't even
think of using calipers in place of a wrench!
I've seen it done by alleged "engineers" at work . . . and one individual actually was in the habit of using micrometers as C-clamps!
(They don't work here any more . . .

But the look just like a wrench so it has to be a wrench too...
