How hot can we allow our barrels to get when shooting ?
Yes same thing up here in NV desert ...... Hey I'm gonna try and google that hat you hive pictured . I wonder how expensive they areDifficult question. Here in Az hot is normal. Perhaps your favorite custom barrel manufacturer could give a general answer. Once you have a temp range, use a handheld laser thermometer for quick readings. On a hot day here, 2-3 rounds and the barrel is hot "magnums".
I shoot one, let it cool for about a minute.
I then usually will do two to three shots that way and pick another rifle while that one cools. I usually take 5-6 rifles with me.
A heavy barrel .308 is a nice range gun to shoot while other overbores are cooling.

Got the hat and a few small items at the Holland and Holland shop in London. Was a must stop when there. Their stuff is pretty pricey and unless you're interested in buying a gun, they seem to be a bit disinterested with you. Very interesting shop with lots of history and vintage items.
