I just spoke with Bell and Carlson personnel and they said they recommend "using the rifle manufacturer specifications", which is 35 inch-pounds according to Weatherby. I've thoroughly -- and I mean thoroughly -- cleaned the barrel with several different brands of copper remover, and then had a gunsmith clean it on top of that.
I guess I shouldn't be complaining too much since it is shooting 3/4" groups, its just that I know it is capable of better when there's a pressure point. Of I could go the other way and do a real free-float with pillar bedding and stock glass bedding. At least then I would have consistency and wouldn't have to worry about taking the barreled action out of the stock changing things.
