[QUOTE="jpd676, post: 903256, member: 27751"] Different metals expand and contract at different temperatures. In theory, it is always best to use steel on steel bases so they react the same. That being said, I have a lot of aluminum rings on steel bases and I have never had a problem here in Wyoming. If I were competing I would have all steel just to give myself the mental competitive advantage of thinking I had done everything I could for accuracy. [/QUOTE]
