The bedding AND the pillars should act as a one piece unit. I do mine in two steps. First the pillars secured to the bottom of the action with the action properly spaced from the stock. After that's set up, (could be a day or two, DON'T RUSH IT!!) I'll go back and finish the bedding job. And spacing the action is important. You need barrel and tang clearance. Do it first and you won't have any problems later.
Then, if you really want to get inventive, drop a V Block in it.
