    The cure for bad readings

    After fighting with my digital caliper set to get a consistent set of oal readings; I discovered this item. Using this anvil, my readings were very easy to repeat. Then I got smarter...I purchased another anvil and now i use both at the same time on my calipers. Absolutely a breeze getting a consistent readings. give it a try. reasonably priced and worth every penny.

  • Most critical review

    Not bad... but I expected better.

    If not properly adjusted on the caliper it will throw the measuring off by as much as .004 of an inch. It works but takes a while to make sure it is correctly adjusted. Anyone who says differently does not care or is unaware of the slant or misalignment on the caliper. It works but in my opinion it is not worth anything above $7. It takes a while to make sure when you screw the nut it does not move the anvil out of place/position... making it go slant on the caliper.

  • Accurate

    This tool makes a big difference in how easy and accurately you can measure the OAL. I have been reloading for 37yrs and the ability to measure the AOL from the ogive has made a huge impact on my accuracy.

  • Great addition to reloading room.

    This item gives you a level and much larger, needed base to avoid the instability and inaccuracy of just the caliper arm. Aids in eliminating the wobble of cases or bullets when using the Hornaday bullet comparator or headspace gauge . A-must have item for your reloading room !

  • Must have.

    The blades on calipers are thin, and sometimes the cartridge becomes canted for an inaccurate measurement. With this simple to install anvil on the stationary blade, it has a larger bearing area and squares up the cartridge to to measure base to ojive or headspace.

  • Tool addition

    This little anvil is great, It makes it easier to measure the overall length of your cartridge, don't have to put the tip of the bullet on the blade your caliber.

  • Makes Measuring Ammo Easier.

    Makes it easier to maesure overall lenght of a round (with or without the bullet comparator). If you are Measuring for Min OAL it lets you get your round sqaue in the Caliper so that you can get a much more accurate measurement.

  • Great addition to use along with my comparator.

    The anvil reduces the chance of getting an incorrect reading when measuring.
