[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 860850, member: 5219"] When I use the CO2 I turn it off compensating for continued cooling which is moving from inside out. I try to time it so the barrel will continue to cool to reach ambient temperatures.. I just got a small infra red thermometer to monitor things more closely. I did tests with several of my most accurate rifles to see if getting the barrel cooler than ambient vs ambient. Also compared those results with letting a barrel cool down normally to ambient. Couldn't detect a difference. I was shooting at 100 yds which may not be a valid test. I need to get the tanks filled again. When I do I'll take some temperature readings. I can know I can get the barrel quite cold with a fresh 20 lb tank. I believe the temperature could get close to freezing. We'll see later this week. I want to do a more accurate RL-33 temperature sensitivity test. [/QUOTE]
