[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1693085, member: 92702"] We are all worried about shock, thermal cycling, and a host of other things. Getting a barrel too hot will ruin it quickly. In summer, it can take an hour for a carbon barrel to cool after just shooting it three times with a hot cartridge. This really makes for a long day. A method is needed to cool it in a reasonable time, or its not worth having IMO. None of the methods reported here cool the barrel back down anywhere near the rate that it heats up. They are also all reported to work fine. Has anyone ever gone overboard and ruined a barrel cooling it? Would love to hear how. I've learned a lot from this thread. I don't think any method shared here would be as bad for the barrel as continuing to shoot it hot and elevating the temp in the bore even more, or am I missing something? As for carbon, I haven't seen any method that cools from the inside that would change the temp faster than shooting it, so I'm going to disagree with the thermal shock theory. [/QUOTE]
