It makes sense that Bowtech warns against backing limb bolts on the previous years models. There is a rubber grommet that maintains clearance between the limb and the limb pocket itself; it sits in a channel machined along the 3 enclosed sides of each pocket. If you have the inside face of the limb bolt ends backed out to the edge of the pockets, there is nothing holding the grommet in place and it can get pinched or completely displaced which will become a problem for you when you begin to return the limbs to the correct position. I understand there are probably other reasons BT stays with 2 1/2 turns or 10 lbs and that this probably isn't what is wrong with Swamp Dawgs bow because the new limb pocket design should eliminmate that possibility.

I bet if you removed the string and relaxed that bow, those limb bolts would turn very easily LOL. Probably with your fingers. Funny how that works....
