It's not witchcraft. They call them "stretch head bolts". But you don't have any experience along those lines.
So basically, your bearings have 30 ft/lbs of the inner nut, plus 50# of the outer nut, for a total load of 80 ft lbs. NOBODY said to do it that way.
While there are variations, everybody backs it off, some to zero torque, some to 1/6 to 1/4 turn. That allows for the tightening of the outer nut without excessive preload on the bearings.
The synopsis, as I read this thread, is somewhere between 0-100 ft lbs, loosen 1/6 turn, install lock ring, and tighten outer to from 50-100.
So you are now tighter than the norm by 1/6 plus 30 ft lbs. Does it matter? Time will tell. 10 years ought to do.
