Default Full length bedding a whippy barrel?

Seems like alot of you guys are interested in the 300 RUM. I have a 70 Classic Stainless with the Express action. I love the gun. Have a laminated thumbhole stock, bedded with free floated barrel. Problem is the thing is very picky, putting two fairly close with some loads and pulling the third out.
I know this case burns alot of powder. Barrel seems small on this gun. Smaller than the Remington. Tried pressure at barrel tip with a little improvement.

Do you any of you think full length bedding of the barrel will help since it is a little on the thin side. I let the barrel cool between shots. Can hunt with it the way it is but would like a little tigher groups. Thanks
