[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 951157, member: 2693"] No My point is, if an artificial source of heat is used to pre-heat a barrel and that source is able to warm the barrel to temperature X (only), in a controlled environment, it will not do the same job in an extreme temperature change due to other variables such as a very cold windy day assisting a rapid cooling of a barrel or hindering a heat source v. a really warm day with no wind which will have much less effect on an artificial heat source. If I had a heat source on my barrel and it is -10 and I have a 18mph cross wind, that wind will not allow that heat source to do it's job effectively or the same as in a situation where it's 80 degrees outside and there's no wind. The cold wind is offsetting the heat source's ability to do it's work effectively. This is not rocket science. Anyone ever grilled out some steaks on a windy v. non-windy day? Better yet, am I the only shooter who's been at the range on windy days v. non or less windy and noticed my barrels cool much quicker when it's windy?? [/QUOTE]
