[QUOTE="cohunter1, post: 729146, member: 48960"] twoftagl, My ? about twist rate and stability has been satisfied, so I am happy to tell anyone who will listen about torqueing your rifle. My buddy and I have gone to custom length Bell & Carlson stocks (14.25") on our senderos. A friend of ours is part owner in greybull precision, and I am in love with their stock design built by B&C. Anyway, after I decide on respectable load group, start at 50 in lb on both front and rear screws. Shoot 3-5 shots, and if bigger than 1 moa, go to 51 in lb on front screw and so on by 1 in lb on front screw until you are shooting one ragged hole groups. I don't think it makes a huge difference where you start ( 50, 60, 65 in lbs) as long as you start equally on both screws, and increase front screw from there. At some point in this process, your groups will open back up, and you will have to go back down in poundage until your back to the tightest possible groups. Like I mentioned earlier I think you can make any suitable load shoot well by following this process. And so far , it has been repeatable, if you have to remove the stock for whatever reason. Hope you have as good of luck as I have doing this. Aim Small Hit Small [/QUOTE]
