[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1090081, member: 2736"] The best way I know is to take several rifles with you to the range and alternate firing them. When one gets hot to the touch, open the bolt and stand the rifle up on its but stock. Then get another rifle and start shooting until it gets hot. (Hot to the touch, not so hot you cant keep your hand on it). Big powder charges can heat a barrel in 2 or 3 shots. NOTE: it is very important to keep a barrel cool if you want good barrel life.
