Will the torque weight affect OCW results?

Lets say you found a good load and realized the rear action screw torque was out of wack. Will re tightening it to the original weight affect anything?
 
It will affect POI, not OCW. It groups open up it will be as a result of action stress.
 
There was an interesting post a fellow hide member did several months back with a rifle after working up a load and then shot groups (cannot recall if OCW round robin or not) with action at different torque settings twinkle-toed to white-knuckled gorilla tight. He had actual numbers, but again, cannot recall.

Someone more gifted with searching might be able to find it and link in, wouldn't mind giving it a re-read. Cool post with interesting results.
