[QUOTE="HaroldNRAEndowment, post: 1855749, member: 111610"] I do not have experience in the following information, but I remember reading an article about 20 years ago where competitors would have a tube full of ice water to dunk the barrel in while competing. My first impression was certainly one would not want any water left in the barrel for safety. Unless the heat flashed the water off. I would be inclined to run a patch to make sure it was dry. As I am responding I wonder if the cutting fluid for machining centers would be a better solution due to the machine being made out of carbon steel, the cutting fluid is also non-corrosive and made to keep the machining cutter cool from over heating. Two things one would have to investigate, is it toxic and could ice cubes be made from it. Or maybe one would not have to cool the liquid if the liquid is getting hot enough to vaporize. When liquids change state from fluid to vapor the heat transfer can be multiplied 500 times. [/QUOTE]
