Hi, at 1.2A resolution, you can probably go higher than 2 with the weighting term, especially at the end of your refinement, when the model is near completeness. You can try 'weight auto' to let refmac5 figure out the correct weight (you have to use 'Run&View Com file' to edit the script manually to do this).
A large value for the weighting term means that the crystallographic data are weighted more strongly than the geometric restraints, hence you probably want to increase rather than decrease that value.
