Not sure if this is the right section to post this, but I need to buy a new set of mics that I plan to use exclusively for measuring bore slugs / bore casts and ammo. I've had some issues with my old flat tipped mics, so I'm thinking chisel tipped or pointed tipped (15 or 30 deg) would be a good option, especially for really small bores where it's hard to indicate off the land indentations of the bore diameter.
On the other hand, I switched to Cerrosafe from the harder lead alloy that I was using prior, so I'm concerned that using really pointy tipped anvils could indent the slugs (or soft lead ammo) and give me bad readings.
Wondering if anyone can chime in and let me know if I'm being too paranoid or if there's a better option that I should be looking at. Thanks in advance!
