[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 965108, member: 33046"] Yes that's what many shooters do in hot weather. Finding one that fits in the barrel and is not to tight or to loose can be a task. [U]You wouldn't want it to fit snug in the barrel[/U]. 5 minutes wasn't near enough cooling time with those conditions. You may have gotten away with the second shot, but anything after that you'd have been wasting your time IMO, without waiting longer. Temps that high really affect us muzzleloaders and we have to wait for that barrel to cool back down. Using the cooling rods, you'll have to wipe out the condensation each time but, it takes a 15 to 20 minute wait down to about 3 to 5 minutes. As I understand it, the softer the aluminum rod, the more conductive it is. [/QUOTE]
