Is this measurement even possible?

Hello.
Running PC-DMIS 2018 R2 on an Optiv Performance 1z443
--------------------------------------------
The QM recently asked me to measure the OD of some parts with a +/-.00075mm tolerance.
When they were found to be out, I complained that, without scanning or an egregious amount of time, we can't accurately measure that with the CMM.
We have a tallyrond to measure roundness, straightness, etc. so it would be infinitely easier to stick it in that...

But, I digress.

In order to check the accuracy of the machine, he instructed me to see how close I could get to a Master plug gage used for air gaging.
This plug diameter is 17.997mm.

A): Is it even possible to measure that accurately? +/-.00075mm on a cylinder?
B): If so, how?

I have a TP200 Probing system and a rotary table, as well as Vision. No scanning, lasers, etc., trying to measure sub-micron tolerance on a known master.

Thanks
