Hi friends,
I was at RFG today shootin' and re-zeroing my scope. I've not shot in warmer weather in a while. That said, when the barrel got hot, I continued to shoot to see where my barrels maximum heat threshold was. Well, it wasn't very high since I shoot suppressed. The barrel shot great groups at 200 till it got hot, and there is where I would get "flyers" and end up wasting bullets for naught.
Anyone have and use a barrel cooler? I'm seriously thinking of getting one. Which do you have? Do you use cooled water or prefer a fan?
If you use a fan, how long do you leave it on before you shoot, and how many consecutive shots do you shoot before you stop and then let it cool off before you resume again?
Had a lot of fun today. The range was pretty empty. For a couple hours it was just me there. Felt like a millionaire shooting at my own personal
