Glass bedding

I recall as a kid being told by a long-time shooter that we were all pronouncing glass _bedding_ incorrectly. It should be pronounced beeding.
I figured he was off his rocker but has anybody else come across this?

I should've mentioned that I've never heard it anywhere else, so it was probably a personal foible of his :-)
