[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1162743, member: 10755"] I agree with Edd, it depends on the type of recoil lug. Tapered lugs get clearance in front and underneath only, straight lugs get clearance in front, underneath and on the sides. I use 2 layers of electrical tape on the sides and bottom, and 4-6 on the front. Ruger actions get bedded completely by me, no clearance at all. If you do it correctly, due to the nature of the bedding process giving a stress free bed, there should be know way once the action screws are tightened that the action could possibly move forward due to the muzzle break pulling the ENTIRE rifle forward.
