[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 109095, member: 5302"] Conventional epoxy bedding tends to apply pressure to a larger area around the receiver than just part of the tops of bedded pillars do. The most accurate rifles I know of are conventionally bedded. I'm not referring to those that have once or twice in their barrel's lifetime shot 5 or 10 shots into some record-breaking group. Instead, it's those rifles that shoot a string of 20 or more consecutive shots into very small groups. There's one exception; round receivers barreled for cartridges shooting fast bullets heavier than about 160 grains. There's enough torque on the receiver as the bullet accelerates down the barrel to often work the receiver a bit loose from its epoxy bedding. Sometimes pillar bedding helps keep the receiver in place. But I'd rather glue that round receiver in a square-bottom sleeve, then conventionally bed it. [/QUOTE]
