[QUOTE="SavageShtr, post: 796037, member: 15118"] At the very least know what your rifle does with a clean cold bore and a dirty cold bore, compared to the rest of your shots. As far as how many shots before the barrel gets hot, well that depends on the caliber and the barrel thickness. Thinner barrels get hotter than heavy ones and like wise larger calibers with high volumes of powder get hotter than say a .223. If you are shooting and you touch your barrel and it is to hot to hold onto then you got it too hot.. Best advice I can give you is take your time between shot and don't get in a hurry. The cooler you can keep your barrel the longer it will last and the better it will shoot for you.. [/QUOTE]
