passport;
Well sir when I started out bedding I began with various rimfires that were lurking in the safe - as they were more basic to do and less financial risk if things went into the weeds.

Low and behold they shoot better too when bedded. wink

White gas is maybe a Canuck term for the fuel used in Coleman lanterns and camp stoves. It evaporates quite quickly and doesn't leave as much residual smell or residue as some cleaners like Varsol. It's what I've got in my shop already though sir, not saying at all there isn't better stuff to use, but it's right there on the shelf beside the chain bar oil, kerosene and automotive oil..... grin

Hope that helped and good luck on your bedding jobs.

Dwayne

Dwayne is showing his age. Before Coleman fuel came into existence, service stations(what gas stations use to be called) use to keep a 55gal drum of white gas on hand. Amoco use to also keep some ,but it still had a lead additive and it gummed up lanterns and stoves.

go to, I think, 6mmbr and find their bedding thread. Read it a few times. Probably disregard the pillar part....

Only thing to really pay attention to is negative angles... check a few things so that you don't have them if anything looks square to you. Tape on recoil lug means you don't have to worry about it generally. But a square edge action just make sure its same at bottom as top or at least wider at top than bottom if anything...

Beyond that just go....

My first bedding job.... M1Garand...ain't as easy as I thought... worked fine for almost 20 of them though... moved forward from there.

One Shot case lube works great for a release agent. Just give it two coats. Much easier to apply than the paste wax.

Use an exacto blade to trim any bedding compound that oozes out. Do this before it fully cures and is still soft.
