I recently built a 22-250 Imp on a Remington 700 Action. I have worked up a few loads for the rifle and found a couple that shoot great.
I took it out last week and shot several groups under .5" most of the groups were ragged little holes, the best group was in the .1s.
I ordered a Holland trigger spring and took the gun out of the stock in order to put in the new spring for the trigger and bolt stop.
I placed the gun back in the stock and torqued the screws back down. (stock is bedded)
I do not have a torque wrench but I think I have a good "feel" for how much it needs to be tightened.
I loaded up a few rounds today and went to the range....Groups were aweful (1.5") with no real pattern to them..(left, right, high and low)
My question is...Could the difference in torque on the action screws be the culprit of my ****** day at the range?
All of my equipment is sold, form is solid enough for repeatability of groups. Reloading is solid.
Thanks
