[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 650256, member: 5219"] It takes a long time for things to cool in Az especially in the summer. Tried wet towels but even that was too slow. Ended up making a CO2 system. The minimum size tank is 20 lb which is shown. Anything smaller and the cooling effect of releasing the compressed gas isn't there. Had to experiment with the correct regulator as well to get enough flow. The tip of the rubber hose is cut with a short taper and it wedges nicely in many chambers. It doesn't require max air flow but a good steady rate. Can cool a very hot magnum barrel in less than a minute. I will use this when I want to work up a load while ambient temps are still cool early in the morning. Can find out what the rifle likes in 1/2 hr.
