[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2004621, member: 38048"] I've tested this a ton on several Bench rest guns. Going from hand tight to 60 lbs and everywhere in between looking for an accuacy advantage. I found no magic place for any of the barrels. From hand tight to really tight I didn't see much change in accuacy at all. I've tried using teflon tape or anti seize with no difference. I put my own barrels on with very little torque but on customers guns I normally use 30 pounds. I change my barrels at the range and don't want to have one to tight to get off. Barrels typically get tighter as you shoot. You may get in on with a snap of the wrist but after you shoot it I've had to put an action wrench in them and use a portable bench vise to get them back off. Shep [/QUOTE]
