[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 3045188, member: 122164"] When I was shooting Benchrest comp, we found that barrels can loosen up. When we started tightening up our barrels to 100 FT lbs, groups tightened. This is contrary to when I was shooting Comp, I could use a strap wrench to take off a barrel, then spin on a barrel and snap it into place with my hands, with the butt being held between my two feet. I was usually only off 1.5" point of impact between the two barrels. So, after Steve Hendry in Ogden, Utah did all the experiments on barrel tightness, I would opt to go tighter ves looser. Steve was the Utah state champion benchrest shooter for many years running, an avid gunsmith, and head of the Aircraft repair shop up in Ogden, a tooling engineer. [/QUOTE]
