[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 981802, member: 51650"] I attach a K type thermocouple to the chamber area of the barrel and read the temp from a Wavetek meter set up on the bench. After each shot I stuff a hose from a small three stage fan I made from scrapped 80mm computer fans and a Gel 12 volt alarm/UPS power supply battery. [ATTACH]37722.vB[/ATTACH] You can watch the temp drop from the air pushing down the barrel and I shoot when it gets back to 100 F. There is a big difference in temperature climb directly proportional to amount of powder burned and the weight of the barrel. A 30-06 firing 57gr of powder down a heavy target barrel doesn't heat up as fast as a hunting weight tube scorched by 80+ grains of powder from a magnum cartridge. Cleaning is really an individual thing to each barrel. Some need to be cleaned often and some seem to shoot well even after 100+ rounds are fired. Just what I do..... KB [/QUOTE]
