[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1327782, member: 74902"] Dosh, think I understand what you are getting at but there are so many variables, especially if barrel life is the objective. For a barrel starting to walk, temps would vary, and a lot of it would have to do with particular stress points and metallurgy of each barrel. Every barrel on the planet would be a little different. Now, it might be a good idea to record temps on a barrel after, say two shots, and the temp when it stared to throw flyers. Then you would know when to back off and let it cool. I have a cooling system just like yours. I usually shoot until heat waves from the barrel start creating enough mirage to affect the sight picture in the scope. Then quit shooting and run the air pump for about 15 minutes. Have a laser temp gun too. Now that you have brought this to my attention, think I will try to record the temps where these things start to occur. [/QUOTE]
