There is a 4th way to measure with a set of calipers. On the back of the anvils, there is a notch that you can use to measure the shoulder depth of an item. Sometimes it is hard to get this measurement with the depth gauge measuring rule out of the bottom of the caliper. Once you measure a shoulder with the notch on the back, you'll see how much more accurate it is .
