[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 1907256, member: 87887"] Take your time and never let the barrel get hot. As previously mentioned unless your shooting a match or perhaps hogs from a helicopter, there's no need to shoot in rapid succession. As ambient temp climbs, you will also need to allow more time for cooling between shots. An air mattress pump can usually be had at a thrift store for $5-10 and greatly enhances the cooling even in warmer temps. Read somewhere that in a rapid five shot string, the fifth shot does as much damage as the previous four combined. Not sure how true it is. [/QUOTE]
