Do you use them, why or why not?

Bedding blocks are only good if you want to use the stock as a slave stock for several guns. If you are going to devcon bed it to one barreled action then they are a waist of money. The best bedding job by far is when you do pillars and bedding at the same time for a perfect mirror image of your receiver. This can be done with the aluminum bedding blocks but you must grind out the aluminum to allow room for the bedding compound, therefor rendering the aluminum bedding block useless, as its intended use was made as a no bedding required type of mounting system. Just my opinion.......

Thanks Hank, I asked the question because I wanted to understand the benefits or non benefits to using one. There is a lot of different ways to skin a cat and I'm just trying to understand why or why not to use one.

I don't like v-blocks nor do I like dished pillars unless they are bedded as one piece attached to the action while bedding. In addition I would also skim bed the blocks in after they were set in the first time for additional support.
The reason I prefer flat pillars and flat blocks to the dished and v-block design is I feel they are less apt to develop a bind or torque on the action. Flat is more idiot proof which I can appreciate and need. It's much harder to put a bind on a single flat contact surface with a round action than it is with a dynamic multi contacting surface either v-block, dished or oherwise.
In addition for the price of a manufactured block, a stock and inlet time for or cost for the block you are getting the lions share of price on a good synthetic.

Aluminum bedding blocks in stocks help make the stock more ridged. They are hyped as a drop in bedding system that will make your gun shoot the best it ever has. That is a real stretch on that claim. I do use the H/S stock which has a full bedding block under the action and also a bar that runs out to the fore arm tip this a very ridged stock.
Aluminum pillars only reinforce the area directly around it and are intended to provide a stronger surface area to keep the proper torque on the action screw. They do not make a laminate stock any stronger or more stable than what it currently is. A full length bedding block will make the stock stronger and way more stable then just two pillars 6" apart. You would be hard pressed to find a gun stock on a 17 lb light gun at a 1,000 yard match that only had pillars even on a light recoiling 6mm Dasher. The block is by far the best choice for accuracy.
The H/S is a very strong stock but it requires bedding the action when you use it on a high performance 45 Caliber muzzleloader because the recoil lug area is way to loose to keep the action from moving around under recoil. This stock only requires a light skim coat of bedding on the block and a enough compound around the recoil lug area to get a good fit.
I don't ever grind away aluminum on bedding blocks I simply drill small holes into the areas that I want bedding compound to bond to. I drill them on different angles so the compound bonds to the aluminum and also is locked mechanically to the metal. The aluminum block is better then two aluminum pillars but for either one to be really good this stock should only used with one rifle and bedded to that rifle only.
There are no two Remington actions made to the same AOL or O.D. and the recoil lugs are not the same and if you use a after market recoil lug then that will also through things off. So the bottom line is you need to bed every action to every stock for the best results.

When you refer to a pillar as being 'dished' is this what you are referring to:  |

I actually like the pillars displayed but I attach them to the action while installing them with the action glass bedded at the same time.
