Wouldn't the right order be:
1. Get LOP correct
2. Confirm pitch is correct (wrong pitch can contribute to face slap)
3. Bend
4. Shave if/as needed.
I wouldn't dispute anything SKB says, but in my conversations with stockers about bending, I have been told that 1/2" at the heel is optimistic. The PG is not going to help any, either.
Have you shot it at a pattern plate? I bought a gun recently that had different dimensions from what I had been fit to, but when I shot it at a pattern plate, it was on the money. Who knows why?
