[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1727107, member: 75451"] There are a lot of potential variables....ambient temperatures, barrel mass, amount of powder burned, ect. Usually 3 minutes or so should be adequate. However, to be certain.....purchase an “infrared temperature” gun ( can be had for under $50), allow your rifle to obtain ambient temperature, measure your barrel temperature prior to your first shot. Then after each shot, continue measurements until the barrel reachers near the original temperature. That may be a bit extreme, but, then there are no questions! As a plus the “temperature gun” has many uses elsewhere! memtb [/QUOTE]
