[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1203535, member: 10291"] I generally keep my LR hunting rifles under 5 consecutive shots before allowing my barrel to cool. Depends on the air temperature. I have shot my competition rifles to the point where an egg could be fried on the barrel when it's +85 degrees outside. No ill effects for the 20 round strings other than the barrel life which seems to cut it in half with my 308's.......2000-2500 rounds before I loose accuracy. [/QUOTE]
