I have a Mitutoyo cd-6" asx that measures down to 5/10000 (i think that's the correct number)
Anything Starrett will be great as well.

I like having the digital readout.
Another thing that is I think pretty essential are a hornady bullet comparator kit (mine is actually the Sinclair brand from brownells) and a shoulder bump gauge.

So I unboxed everything today to see what exactly I have and what I don't have. The only thing that I can not find is a tumbler/brass cleaner. Any recommendations?

All of the equipment is RCBS. I also have all the dies of what I shoot as he did the reloading years ago. I did find his notebook with details of all the different loads he was using.

Next question, all powder was stored in ammo cans as well as the primers. Is there any concern with them going bad? Everything has the date he bought it written on top. All of the powder was bought between 1995-2001.

I also found several reloading manuals, Nosler #2, Lyman 45 edition, Hornady vol 2, speer vol 2, and Game Loads and Practical Ballistics by Bob Hagel. Should I also buy a more recent manual?
