varget or h4895 in 22-250

Have a precision stock coming. To skim bed it do you torque the stock down to 45 inch pounds and let it squeeze the compound out? With a factory gun and my reloading, shooting set up/skills, from what I have been reading, my gun is shooting very well. I'm waiting until the new stock gets here before shooting again.Thanks for the help
 
I dont know if I would even skim bed it. I believe H-S Precision does not recomend it on there actions. But on your rifle and there stock, I would check with them. You might want to pock around on there site and see if they say.
When I torque mine down, I stand it on the butt, with the muzzle up, so all the weight of the action and barrel are on the recoil lug, but you already know that. And 45'/lbs is a tight squeeze.

precision stock came in and I'm going to shoot it before skim bedding. they recommend 65'lbs on the screws,on my sendero's
Remington calls for 45'lbs. same stock just a short action this time. why the difference?
 
My H-S HTR came with a torque wrench, and I cant remember if its 45 or 65in/lb, I know I said 45, but I think its 65 now, ill get back to you. I need to go look.

I checked, and my H-S HTR 308, is 65in/lbs, it is not bedded from the factory, or is it recommended. The action is sitting on the stocks machined bedding chassis.
Its factory test target is .243 for 3 at 100. And that's about what it shoots consistently, with my 168g/Varget hand loads. I wont be bedding this one.

New H-S stock came in and I shot it with out bedding.
Groups are about the same and almost to the same point of impact at 100 yards. I realize now that i'm only a 3/4-1' shooter.when every gun you own shoots the same size group
your at your limit.Now I'll work improving my shooting skills and leave the guns alone. Thanks for the load data.
