[QUOTE="Guest, post: 54933"] I consider my barrels to be "cool" when I can rest the bottom of my wrist on it for extended periods with out any disscomfort. I consider my barrels to be hot if I can't keep my palm on the barrel (about 6" in front of the chamber) without disscomfort. This is a very crude way to measure but it seems to work , most of my heavy barreled magnum guns get hot in about 5-7 shots , a 308 maybe 10 shots. I have two 308 that have the same size barrel but one is fluted , shooting the same loads out of each one I haven't been able to see that the fluted barrel cooles any faster.I personaly like to have ALOT of space around my barrels to let them breath most of my guns have about 1/4" free float to let more air around the barrel [/QUOTE]
