[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 387165, member: 2736"] I agree that the heaver barrel will take more shots to heat up but also it will have a better cooling rate based on more surface area. Of course this is with all things being equal (Same load,same amount of rounds fired). An old trick to help cooling is to stand the rifle up and open the bolt . It has a chimney effect and will let air flow through the bore for faster cooling. For varmint hunting one should have 2 or more rifles if the shooting is fast and furious. A fluted barrel should also help cooling . Just an opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
