[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1569945, member: 96226"] Probably not. Get a Fat wrench or a quality torque wrench from snap-on. I have both. The Fat wrench is in the field kit. The heavy steel one stays on the bench. I guess you could but that'll open up tolerances a microscopic amount. Try just using some of this. Not a huge amount, just a light coat in the raceways. [ATTACH=full]121553[/ATTACH] If the Superperformance gives you more velocity without taking a lot more powder or driving pressures sky high and you've got the option. That said, there is no magical recipe, no magical bullet, no magical powder that will materially change anything. You can pump any round up to start out 100fps or so faster than it otherwise would and it won't make a squirt of cold pee's difference to anything you'll choose to do UNLESS you're choosing to do it at the supersonic limits of the cartridge at hand, in which case it might buy you an extra 100yrds of supersonic bullet flight.
