When I was building custom rifles and stocks many years ago, I almost always full length bedded them. I felt that especially the magnums performed better that way as it cut down barrel vibration. I might add that most of mine shot under and inch. Nowadays, free floating seems to be the norm and perhaps the barrels are made better. I don't know, but I still think there is a place for full length bedding or pressure at the end of the barrel.
