I used to use 30-35 ftlbs. Last year at the South Eastern Precision Rifle Club Series Finale in Finger, TN at K&M Shooting Complex day 1 was a beautiful 70* day and the rifle was just a laser all day finishing day 1 in the top 10. Day 2 we woke up to a 17* morning and it never got over 24*. Couldn't hit a thing all day....... About a month later I took the rifle back out to try and figure out what was going on and as I was getting ready to give up on the barrel that only had about 500rds on it at the time I found as I moved the rifle by the barrel that it had come loose. and that's why I was unable to hit the broadside of a barn all day at the match on day 2. I now use 60ftlbs because of that and check my barrel before every match I travel too. I've done at least 20-30 barrel installations and that is the only time it's ever happened to me. I will do my best to ensure that it's the last time.
