I am a commercial user and I use a lot of Talley light weight rings on about everything other than heavy long range rigs and have never had a problem. I only torque the caps to 14 inch pounds and the base to the receiver to 18inch pounds. A light weight 300 Wby is one of the sharpest recoiling rigs around and they hold fine even with a 6.5-20x50 30mm scope.
Nothing will wreck and aluminum part quicker than over torqueing.
Yes , my numbers a bit higher I use but not much , and I do not tighten one than move to the others I progressively tighten like a lug pattern on a car/truck and never had a problem.
