[QUOTE="Brewer, post: 1042928, member: 71923"] OK, just for fun, I did the math on a 1000 yard target. if you use the coefficient of expansion for aluminum figures that were just given, and that expansion were (because of the base being mounted in say 4 locations) in only one direction (worst case scenario here) you could get as much as a whopping 3.6" of deviation at 1000 yards. having said that, it should be relatively consistent, so your bullets should all land in the same area. so. it probably doesn't matter. :) [/QUOTE]
