[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 703258, member: 23486"] ^^^ This is sound advice. From my lowly .204 to my 338RUM. From unbedded wood stocks to a solid aluminum chassis, NONE of my action screws exceed 40in/lb. IIRC with a 1/4in fastener the clamping force is somewhere in the 1200lb range. An ex-USMC armorer has reported seeing eventua stud yield at 65in/lb leading to loss of accuracy. Now, That is definitely an extreme case, but from what little i've read, 65 may be a little too high for that small of a fastener. YMMV [/QUOTE]
