Even though Mandel lists 170ft as the first shot distance instead of 167, I'm guessing he rounded it off.

My guess was wrong.
Tom P. describing where the 170ft distance came from:
"For example, try reading Mr. Breneman's letter!
Had Mr. Breneman had either a copy of the Time/Life Survey plat and/or the field notes, then he would have known that the TIME/LIFE survey showed a line-of-sight distance from the sixth floor window to the point of impact on Elm St as being exactly 170 feet, NOT the 156 feet that he states.
The 156 feet from the TIME/LIFE survey is the "slope" distance from the point of impact on the street, back to the intersection of the sidewalk with the corner of the TSDB at the bottom corner of the building. "
