[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 507316, member: 2736"] I would highly recommend installing pillars before bedding to eliminate any compression of the stock material. With pillars properly installed you end up with a metal to metal to metal fit so there is no compression of the stock. causing the torque to lessen over time. All stock material can be compressed but the pillars can not be compressed, so torque remains the same. A good bedding job does not need pillars to shoot well but it does need constant attention and re-torque'ing to remain consistant. Also don't over tighten the action screws, Start at 35 inch pounds and shoot a group then torque at 40 inch pounds and shoot another group if the group tightens then up the torque 5 more inch pounds.continue this until you get the best group but dont go over 65 in/pounds. If the group starts to open up, back off to the best torque setting and your done. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
