[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1899143, member: 112413"] Heavier the contour slower the heat up, more metal to conduct to. Barrel flutes speed cooling somewhat, outside temps high and low also effect this. I like to shoot a 3-5 shot group and let cool to the touch, I also stand my gun vertical with bolt open to create a "chimney effect" for faster cooling. May not be possible at all ranges, make sure and clean between shot strings when breaking in also. Perhaps haste makes waste would apply here, shooting too much or too fast without cooling will waste your barrel and especially throat life. Good Shooting.....Enjoy the new barrel..... and welcome to the forum :) [/QUOTE]
