[QUOTE="bigbuck, post: 420061, member: 18377"] I'll take a stab at it :) I used to say it was hot .If it felt that way when I touched the outside of the barrel so once I didn't "feel" anything or very little I would go ahead and shoot. But I noticed that when I fired that next shot the barrel would heat right back up like I had just shot another 3 round group. remember the barrel heats up from the inside out so what seems to be cool isn't always cool:cool: This is the reason you have to pull out the Old timer pocket knife and whittle 10, 20,30 minutes until you think it's cool. Thank goodness for custom barrels:) This thread is bringing back some old memories. One of the things I used to do was take out the bolt and prop my rifle up in the corner with the muzzle up that way the heat would rise out of it like a amoke stack :D I really don't know if this helped or if it was just a habbit.
