[QUOTE="esshup, post: 1731381, member: 11101"] If I understand that correctly, I'll agree to that. If the barrel is too hot to comfortably rest your hand on it, the damage for that shooting session is already done. Do that multiple times and the life is shortened considerably faster than if the temp was kept below 30°C. I have no way of testing it, but I believe that the bore temp is much greater than the temp on the outside of the barrel. Does barrel contour/heat dissipating qualities of the barrel design, help prolong barrel life? All other factors unchanged, except how fast the barrel will dissipate heat. [/QUOTE]
