Thread: Seating depth - who bothers?

Yep - but I never heard anybody talking about thou till reloading? small stuff on engines like valve clearances, bearing crush, points etc is metric (or at least I always did it in metric...) the lathe is metric, the mill is metric. I cant think of any other area where small measurements are commonly made in thou off the top of my head??

Hmm - post appears above as im slowly typing... So engineers are still using it which is interesting. Still there are plenty of posts from people who are obviously not engineers and are far too young to know what the other side of the ruler is for. Tis a funny old world!
