[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 387321, member: 11717"] I agree that if a heavy barrel gets to the same temp as a light barrel, it will take longer to cool because the heavy barrel has more heat energy because it has more mass. But to get the heavy barrel to the same temp requires more shooting (using the same load) Sooo... if we are shooting the SAME amount of rounds through them, the heavy barrel heats slower and cools faster because of greater surface area - same principle as radiators, base board heating and fluting. Am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
