[QUOTE="Jim Hundley, post: 115688, member: 3708"] In my humble opinion,that is exactly what I do to try to simulate "normal" hunting conditions here in Texas.I keep the ammo cool at home,then put it in a container on top of the ice in my drink chest to keep the components very cool and dry.I also space the timing between shots to keep barrel heating to a minimum and then put my barrel under the trucks air conditioner vents to throughly cool before the next group.I do this when the temperature is above 70F. My partner has a CO2 bottle rigged with plastic tubing hooked up to a bore guide that is inserted into the chamber and lets the gas do the cooling,while keeping his ammo very cool.Others have suggested wet towels,etc.Hope this helps.
