[QUOTE="KDB, post: 307772, member: 18510"] I have several HS stocks and skim beaded them all. If you notice on Woods picture, after the bedding had cured, that the bedding had filled in on the front pillar of the block. If the pillar bolck and action were a solid fit, then that area would be devoid of bedding material. Typically, the action and bedding block do not make good contact and leave excessive gaps, which in theory can cause stress on the action when torqued. This is why I skim bed. It's easy, although messy, and can be removed if you mess up. The single most important tip is to put ample release agent on everything and to remove the excess that presses out between the stock and action (to prevent a mechanical lock, ie. not being able to get the action out). All that being said, I have noticed little if any accuracy benefit from the process in those particular rifles. But at least I feel better and gave me something to do. [/QUOTE]
