i see what you are saying. so do you aim for no gap or maybe a gap about equal with the mig wire (~.025")?

With what Efab is saying no matter what your welding with.. stick or mig , the metal will pull or "shrink" because the actual weld does when it cools. If I make a goof cut (to wide) I use removable small strips of metal to keep the gap near my tacks.If it is good and clean ,and your heat is right little to no gap is good.
