[QUOTE="steeles1, post: 1002673, member: 54165"] absolutely. even bull barrels get hot in heavier calibre's shooting 5 shots straight.this accelerates barrel wear and fouling.i pull the bolt back immediately after the shot,eject brass,blow into chamber to remove hot air/smoke,inspect brass for pressure signs,make notes in book,look how group is going then get ready for next shot. as the barrel gets lighter/thinner it heats up that much quicker but cools down quicker too.take your time and think of what your doing.
