[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1570336, member: 9299"] I have used about every technique over the many decades, and marking screw alignment has been one of them. Not the most accurate way to torq, but it gets close (Note, this method isnt the best on old style wood without pillars). On our BR and varmint rifles, we use increasing torq amounts then fire groups until we find any positive changes. Some do, some don't care. Lapping the bolt raceway with a lapping compound does work, and of course, a good locking lug lapping is considered standard on an accurate rifle. Most custom rifles have this performed when built, BUT, after some routine working of the bolt without a lapping compound, I use a teflon or Moly based lube to keep things smooth. Moly compounds can migrate everywhere, so depending on the compound, use light amounts. Remember, most any wet type lube or grease can attract and hold dirt/grit, so keep her clean. Often, I have used a drying silicone lube with some success, and it does not hold the grit like a wet lube. Superformance ammo does increase velocity over a "standard" factory load, but it will be up to you to determine if it is of any real value to your particular hunting limits and abilities. If your hunting ranges are not overly distant and the game is not overly tough to anchor, it could be just a waste. But if other and you want every edge you can get, why not? Is a couple of inches of less drop and a few extra ft/lbs of energy worth the extra? Could be..... [/QUOTE]
