[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1808588, member: 13632"] An action has large surface area, in a proper bedding job the pillars are really just to support the bottom metal and screws so they don't compress from the bottom up. When we go metal to metal we've negated the reason for bedding to simply torque management and the action really just sits on the two pillars and the bedding is for looks. Much of this is about shooting in the 1's and 2's at a thousand yards not at 100,300 or of a bipod but it's good to be aware the minutia. I've used most bedding material and I still like Devcon and MarineTex, the ideal would be a thinner Devcon IMO but I bed tight enough I use an action jack to remove the barreled action from the stock square and spreading the pull. I have to press the action back in and no need for screws to hold it together. [/QUOTE]
