[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 188437, member: 2736"] Mtmuley If the action is not pillar bedded then use 25 to 35inch/lbs of torque max. If it is pillar bedded (floor metal to pillar to action) then you can start at 35 inch/lbs and go up to about 65 inch/lbs. Notice I said INCH/POUNDS and you can try start at 35in/lbs and shoot a group to see how it does. Then go up to 45in/lbs and see if it improves or not, if it does then go up 5 or 10 more inch/lbs if not stop where you are. Some rifles respond to different torque settings. I hope this answered your question J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
