[QUOTE="Hespco, post: 1642744, member: 109476"] I have a Rem 700 264 mag I bought new in 1964. It has taken ton's of game & will still shoot an inch or better. I have NEVER EVER shot more than three shots with out a complete cool down. One of my cool down tricks is using 70 or 90% rubbing alcohol. Soak a rag or paper towel with alcohol. . Liberally wipe down the barrel repeatedly for 4 to 5 minutes. Maybe a couple more. You will notice considerable barrel cool down as the alcohol rapidly evaporates & carries heat away. Leaving the bolt open with the barrel pointed up or down creates a flue like draw of air thru the bore as you wipe down. If you have a carbon ( blued steel ) barrel be sure & wipe it down with some gun oil when finished as the alcohol removes oil. [/QUOTE]
