It depend on the gun. Usually, a heavy barrel prefers to be fully floated while a sporter weight barrel shoots better with a little fore end pressure. That isn't gospel though, each barrel is an entity unto itself. I would free float it first, and then add a small dab at the front of the stock if I felt accuracy could be improved. Also, you have to play with the amount of pressure put on the barrel. Force something between the barrel and stock that will flex the stock or barrel just a little (folded up paper works good). When the bedding dries, it will push a little. You can experiment at the range with shaving it a little at a time to see if shooting improves.
