[QUOTE="del2les, post: 3096916, member: 9299"] I hear you, but we never heat barrels to the point of not touching them. Hence, one of the reasons we always take 3 or more on those multi-day shoots to swap out if getting too "warm". Which takes a while with heavy varmint barrels in 222/223. Even when I am shooting more local, which I have spent some time in Western CO doing, I have no issues reaching way out with heavy VLD 22 cals or 6mm varieties. My longest P-dog kill is 1,008 yds with a 25-06 using 85gr NBT. Same load on a yote at 1,031yds. The op is planning a multi-day trip to SD, so it seems he is planning for a serious dog shoot that may entail many hundreds of rounds for the hunt, if not each day. That is, if he finds some good towns. Again, I understand your situ and locale, and it sounds like you have things covered well for what it entails. As always, enjoy those "pops". [/QUOTE]
