I just spent a couple of hours reading on pillar bedding through the search function, but didn't find an answer.
Apparently, the inside diameter of the pillars is larger than the 1/4" action screws. I say this this because most threads reference wrapping the action screws with a bit of tape to assure they are centered in the pillar when screwed to the action while bedding the pillars.
What I don't understand is why the inside of the pillars would not be just large enough(slightly more than 1/4") for the action screws to not have any "slop/play" to move around inside of the pillars. If the action screws just barely fit inside of the pillars, then no tape would be needed and the centering of the screws would be automatic. What am I missing?
