[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1271470, member: 4191"] I asked about this prior to bedding my 338 Rogue, and got little input and varying opinions. Finally was time to proceed, so I made a decision and bedded it with tape on the front, bottom, and one side of the lug. The side that didn't resist the torque from the bullet rotation. The side of the lug that resists rotational torque was not taped. Differing approaches are used by different gunsmiths. And the rifles seem to shoot well and maintain POI equally well, based on the research I completed. The best method seems to be nebulously tied to the individual gunsmith's preferences. Which is probably why I received so little input at the time I solicited it. It's similar to asking which bedding compound is the best. Of course the best is the one the gunsmith uses. Or which pillars are the best... On bedding compound - I've used Devcon on a half dozen rifles with good results. But the next time I purchase bedding compound I'll purchase Marine Tex Gray. From my research (and I'm a "researcher"), I decided Marine Tex get's the slight preference over Devcon. And as bigngreen stated, Marine Tex can be purchased in smaller sized containers - which can be more cost effective. So many preferred methods that it almost seems like VooDoo. [/QUOTE]
