[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 1042568, member: 5262"] The rule of thumb I use for myself: Aluminum base = Aluminum rings Steel base = Steel rings or Aluminum rings Using steel rings on an aluminum base increases the risks of the rings damaging the base over time due to the recoil impulses. I don't personally worry about thermal expansion rates of the two materials. Regards, Rog [/QUOTE]
