On the Remington 700 it's 65-in/lbs, so I don't think it'll be far off from that.

I doubt if anything is gained by torquing to 65 in/lbs except maybe stretching the action screws. If 50-55 in/lbs with Loktite on the threads doesn't work, neither will torquing the screws down so hard that the screws stretch and the action bends. If you have bedding issues, get the rifle glass bedded so the action has a uniform mirror image base to rest in and pillar bed the action screw holes so that torquing the screws doesn't compress the stock material.
As to spitzer FMJ bullets, I've never got them to shoot in a .22 caliber rifle, not even my .222 with it's Gaillard barrel. Yet I've shot military .30 caliber FMJs that were really good. Why there is such a disparity I don't know. But if you start handloading match bullets in your .22 centerfire rifle your groups will shrink, your scores will soar, and shooting will be much more rewarding and fun.
Getting into handloading does require a modest initial investment, but that investment is quickly recovered if you consider the difference in cost between handloads and factory ammo. But more than the ability to shoot more for the same money, is the realization that your rifle will shoot better than it ever has before.
What you need to get started is far different that what people want to sell you. The first thing you need and should purchase is a loading manual, or better yet several. These manuals provide data in several different ways. Some might give you the maximum charge weight with a corresponding velocity while others give you a maximum velocity with a corresponding charge weight, and at least one gives you the powder charge in both volume and weight measurements. I think the Lyman and Hornady books are must haves and you should have one more by the bullet manufacturer of your choice, particularly if you have a predisposition to one particular manufacture. These manuals not only provide you with load data, they also give you the basics of the handloading process and how to set up your tools for the best results.
Lets have a fast look at what you'll need. You need a press with a primer seater, and the correct shell holder that fits on the ram of the press. A ribbed primer tray that flips over the primers is both handy and inexpensive. You need dies to deprime and resize a your brass and to seat the bullet. The die box will provide you with the correct shell holder number for the cartridge you are reloading. A means of trimming and de-burring your brass is essential. You'll need a powder scale to accurately weight your powder charges. A balance beam scale is almost certainly less expensive than a digital scale, but I wouldn't skimp here as accuracy and repeatability are as much a safety issue as they are an accuracy issue. A scale check weight set is an often over looked item, but one that I consider essential to ensure that the scale indicates the correct weight. A powder trickler is another inexpensive piece of equipment and makes it easy to approach your charge weight. To prevent your brass from getting stuck in the resizing die you'll need lube and Imperial sizing wax lasts seemingly forever and is easily wiped away with a clean rag once your case is resized. Imperial Dry Neck Lube makes it easier to run the expander ball through the neck of the case. Should you get a casing stuck in the die, you can easily make a stuck case remover with a a drill bit of the proper size, a threading die, a bolt and a stack of washers. You don't "need" much else, but those other tools you end up wanting can be bought slowly over a period of time. These might include: a tumbler, a high volume priming tool, a powder measure or a digital powder measure/scale combination, primer pocket and flash-hole uniformers, bullet uniformers, some extremely precise measuring tools, a powered case trimmer, a turret or an automatic press to speed up the loading process, etc, etc. Most of us struggle along with a single stage press although loading large volumes of handgun ammo on a single stage press does get tedious, but some of these other tools can be acquired to streamline your loading operation.
