[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 1896328, member: 65116"] Thinking of temperature. When the barrel is warm (hot maybe) how long do you leave your rounds in the chamber before firing. Just a few seconds will heat the powder significantly. It may be 59F on the bench but it could be 200F in the chamber. I may be a slow learner but I have found the quickest way to cool the barrel is to open the action and stand the rifle up so the barrel is near vertical: chimney effect from the heated air in and around the barrel rising quickly drawing in cooler air. Much faster cooling than just leaving it horizontal at the shooting position. [/QUOTE]
