[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1691709, member: 64108"] This may come as a surprise but there are many guys, even well decorated BR shooters that cool their barrels with water while out prairie dog shooting. I have never done it but I have seen it work, push a patch thru then back to shooting, very accurately. The inside barrel surface is only really hot for a flash then it is absorbed to the rest of the barrel so it isn't glowing when you dump the water in it. Not hot by metallurgy standards anyway, I think you would have to have it glowing hot then quench it to have ill effects or else they wouldn't be doing it. There are other types of carbon barrels with air space around the steel so it can cool, compression and tensioned barrels, They address insulation at ~4:30 in this video, interesting series.

I don't think it is an issue or someone would be posting pictures. Call Proof and ask what their warranty is. [/QUOTE]
