[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 117667, member: 8843"] Rob01 , if your getting your barrel so hot that you can warp it buy cooling quickley then it isn't gonna last anyhow . Typicaly your barrel isin't going to get much hotter than 125 to 150 degrees which is a bit hotter than you want to touch for more than a second or so , if you shooting it to the point that its in the 300 degree range that might start to have an effect on the barrel steel so as it might warp then your shoot way to many times between cooling it off. I have shot out around Barsto , CA when it was 110 degrees. I was shooting a 300Win mag with a fluted varmint weight barrel , I would cover the barrel with damp rags and shoot 5 shot groups , the barrel would be warm but no where near as hot as it would be if I had just left it out in the sun. At some point you have relize that if your not at least keeping the gun in the shade then it ain't never gonna cool off. But answer your question , no I have never been worried about warping a barrel from cooling it to fast , I don't worry because it not getting that hot and the water isin't ice cold. I have a buddy that has this same setup I mentioned but it is fed from a small pump into a 6 to 1 header ,he has 6 differant setups so he can be cooling 6 guns at once , this insures that his guns are staying cool while he is shooting at the range. Its a pretty cool dealas it recycles into an ice chest that its being fed from . [/QUOTE]
