[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 388262, member: 5060"] This will get very interesting as different propellants depending on their chemical makeup are more abrasive when burned and can cause accelerated erosion especially in extreme cases. I can cool a barrel just as fast as it heat up so it really make no difference to me in the least. When shooting in a match is the only time I am not able to stop and take 30 seconds to cool the tube and forward part of the action down. Too many people run around and whine about this when it is a problem with a simple solution. FWIW my rifles still shoot POA when they are Cool or Hot---depends on the components used, if your builder really knows what he is doing and if the shooter knows what he is doing. Example if you have a hot chamber and then place another round in and close the bolt that ammunition is heating up very quickly and then guess what happens? When shooting a rapid string it is easy when using a RBLP rifle but only place the round on the follower and just barely start the bolt, then when the sight picture is obtained and the condition is right --- close the bolt with the index finger and middle finger touch the trigger. It only takes less than 2 seconds to do this. [/QUOTE]
