[QUOTE="bigbuck, post: 387309, member: 18377"] Just noticed this thread so I thought I would share what happened to me last summer . I was at our hunting club and dad had his sporter actually more of an in between sporter and heavy shiland barrel (22-250) . He had one of his green 100 count shell holders with him I say it was half full or just over anyways he turns to me and says shoot em up I'm going to reload some more for this gun that are more accurate . So I smiled and said okay sure (because I love to burn powder) I ran through all of these within 30 to 35 minutes to the best of my remebrance I never stopped the barrel was smokin hot I mean you could fry an egg on this sucker ! We'll today it wears a new barrel because evidentally I cooked it . I have always shot a heavy barrels on my RUM and what I notice is it takes longer to heat up but also takes longer to cool or (I'm just real impatient ) I always lean my gun up in a corner or on a tree with the bolt taken out so the air will travel up the barrel usually I can see mirage or heat waves comeing from the end of the barrel . It usually cools faster this way . Hope I didn't stray to far off topic. BigBuck [/QUOTE]
