[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 2500564, member: 96226"] I torque shouldered barrels to nothing at all. Just hand tight, then shoot. The bullet traveling down the barrel the first time after spinning it up torques it all it needs to be. Nets very consistent results with a properly faced receiver and barrel shank. Does require the gunsmith to pay some attention and dual indicate everything super carefully. With barrel nut guns, I give the barrel nut wrench a mild swat with a rubber mallet. [/QUOTE]
