I use the Wheeler alignment bars whenever I mount a scope, regardless of what rings I'm working with. Have found that there are very few that need lapping. I do not have the Wheeler lapping part as I made this up myself. When I show a misalignment I do a wipe to see how bad it is and what areas will need attention. There are times when the alignment is not that far off so I let it go. I guess my bottom line is that depending on the mount, I usually do not have to lap. I have a freind who laps "every" time , regardless.

Be Safe !!!
