[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1885455, member: 91783"] I like to follow the manufactures recommended guide lines on product usage . As we go along in life we find out what will work for us by experience and by asking questions of others that have also had some experiences in that area of life . I also like a good quality one piece base set up that has been bedded to the action using a good release agent on the action so that I can remove it later if need be . For me I think that I would make sure that the screws aren't bottoming out or stretching and leaving a little play between the base and action . Over repeated use screws stretch and will weaken . The smaller a screw the more often I will replace them maybe just one or two uses . I have used loc-tite products and for me I find that they have a usage guide line for a reason . I may want to take a broken screw out some day with out needing to get it drilled or machined out . I have found over the years that the closer the fit with out gaps puts less stress on bolts and screws and keeps things in place better , more contact means more gripping power . I have also noticed that when torqueing bolts and screws there are some guide lines, some manufactures say to lube the head of bolts and screws while others want them dry without lube . lube on the head will give you more torque as it lessens the friction and allows the head and base metal to slide together without pulling metal from each other that is counted as torque . Friction = amount of torque applied = amount of holding power applied to two separate parts . [/QUOTE]
