[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 957743, member: 6452"] Was able to see 7mm holes at 300 with that scope. Need ideal conditions though. A heavier tripod would make a difference too. I have used a wet rag to cool down a hot barrel. Shooting in the summer here where we regularly get 100* days you'd be waiting a long time for a barrel to cool. I've read someone suggest running water down the bore but the thought of that makes me cringe. I don't see much problem with a wet rag to suck some of the heat from a barrel. I wouldn't do it to a burning hot barrel but a warm to the touch barrel can be cool to the touch in less than a minute. Have not noticed any severe poi shifts or anything doing this. A .22 bolt gun is a great way to get some trigger time while you wait. Mimics your big guns action and is slow enough to keep you occupied while your gun cools. [/QUOTE]
