[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 563996, member: 24624"] I've had rifles that get scaulding hot after 2 or 3 shots. I've also had several customs including a factory Sendero 7RM that reach a constant temp when shooting 20 shot strings in mild weather. Either way, you can abuse the barrel and shorten the life. I've read that it's the rapid heating of the inside of the throat area in opposition to the cold outer portion of the barrel that begins to cause stratification and flaking within the throat. I don't know if that's true or an accurate depiction. If so, then getting to an even temperature would promote consistency as well as barrel life. I'm keen to hear what others have to say. -- richard [/QUOTE]
