One of the things I've noticed while doing all this is the back screw bottoms out . Meaning once I hit 30lbs it stops turning and does not seem to get tighter . The front screw will turn just a little every 5 to 10lbs up to 60lbs or so .

That's very interesting. The front of the receiver is actually floating above the bedding block, and it is being suspended only by the "rib" on the sides. No wonder they recommend such a low torque setting, and that the front screw has tendency to come loose. I think that's specific in the design of the bedding system. Glass bedding it will negate such feature.
I would use a thin spring washer to keep the front screw front from coming loose. Loctite will work, but it would be a pain to deal with whenever you need to take the rifle apart.
