[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1563635, member: 85987"] I have a load map for every rifle I load for. I have the lot# and the amount of change to keep it in the sweet spot for when I'm going to shoot temp wise. I have been shooting most of the rifles I own for a very long time. The ones that are newer get all kinds of love when the weather is different from what I have dope for. I can tell you this. I had the gun apart to coat the action. I put it back together and went to a shoot. The week before I had a clean run on the same range in 20's temps. I shot the egg shoot and didn't do well. I know it was torqued to 55 in/#'s. I checked my rings when the rifle wouldn't hold zero. They were correct. When I checked the action screws they were at well below the 55 I had set them to. After doing some research and making some calls this is what I was told. It fit with what I saw. I torque my screws at 5in/# intervals in every application. base, ring and action. I do it this way because it is always going to be correct when I'm done. I recheck them at the proper setting every time i get home since this happened. I've had to re torque rings with the burris inserts as well as the tally rings in the same conditions. Obviously the plastic in the burris rings explains this, however the tally rings being all aluminum should not change yet they do. I'm running 25 vs the 17 they recommend for torque and have not had an issue since. But Even today it was not below 8 so cold but not stupid cold. [/QUOTE]
