[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1927732, member: 2736"] Not very scientific, But before all the gadgets we have today, we used the back of our fingers to check the barrel temperature. normally after 4 ot 5 shots the barrel felt warm but you could keep your fingers on the barrel. On light contour and big magnums the limit seemed to be about 3 shots before it became hot to the touch. Each rifle,cartridge combination is different so the cooling time was different. The main thing that we tried to do was not just bang away and overheat the barrel during test firing. A good slow firing pace and time is all that is needed. in those days opening the bolt and standing the rifle up gave good results if you switched back and forth between rifles, The chiller/cooler decreases this time and allows less time if you only have one rifle to test. Getting in a hurry never produces the best results. and any method is better than just banging away and overheating a barrel. In some rapid fire matches cooling is not an option, but extreme cartridges with huge amounts of powder that will heat the barrel with only 2 or 3 shots are not used so the barrel has time to reasonably cool between shots if you give it. Everyone will have their method and pace while shooting and the degree of cooling needed to replicate its use. With heat, Less is more/better. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
