[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1000194, member: 2736"] I prefer using bedding with Stainless steel fillers because they have near the same coefficient of expansion as the receiver/barrel and will not rust on the surface of the bedding. Other materials like Titanium, brass, fiber glass, Aluminum, ETC can grow at a different rate as the rifle/action heats up and may change the POI. The main reason we bed our rifles is to prevent them from moving in the stock, so the bedding material must be very stable in my opinion. Pot life will vary between bedding compounds and the temperature you apply it at (The higher the faster it cures)so read the instructions and keep a close eye on it the first few times until you have a good feel for pot life. Cost is not the issue. titanium is a great material for some things but not for others. A good example of this is, A good friend used Titanium for muzzle brake material, and after a few shots the brake would come lose from the difference in heat expansion of the barrel steel and the Titanium,no mater how tight he made it up. In my opinion, use the Devcon with the stainless filler. (Or any other bedding compound you like with ss fillers). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
