[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 387512, member: 3776"] The damage to a barrel is in the throat from excess shooting (heat, erosion). The throat (the inside of the barrel) will heat up faster and to a higher temp than the outside in the same time frame. If the outside of the barrel reaches 200 degrees as in Boss Hoss's post above, then the temp inside the barrel was higher than that at one point. The thinner barrel will heat up on the outside faster and give an indication of heat faster than will the thicker barrel. The inside will heat up faster than the heat can dissapate to the outside. Once heated a thicker barrel will take longer to cool than a thinner barrel [/QUOTE]
