[QUOTE="abinok, post: 79269, member: 16"] I picked up a method for cooling barrels from one of the east coast 1K br boys for a while. I used a "personal mister" from walmart that puts out a fine mist of ice water. Place spray tip in chamber, let mist for a minute, then patch dry. It worked very well. Less than a minute to get back to cool to the touch. Then I found myself shooting at a indoor range a lot (gotta love that employees shoot free thing) and they werent real fond of puddles of watter on the floor, so I found another cleaner alternative in CO2. I drilled and tapped a piece of brass to fit a short CO2 hoze I had, then simply screwed my 12OZ CO2 bottle onto it, gave it a quick puff or two, and that was that. Let it warm up for a minute or two, run a dry patch (to clear condensatin) and youre good to go. Im not so much concerned with cleaning issues arizing from shooting too hot, but reduced barrel life. Dan Lilja did some research on what type of barrel temp it takes to reduce accuracy, and the same for reduced barrel life. I don't recall exact numbers, but i was shocked at how low they were.
