Overheating threat from excessive shooting?
I've been wondering about how much fun is too mucn with a large bore rifle. What I mean is, how much shooting vs how much cooling down time.
I just read about a large bore rifle match at a local range that calls for 10 rounds in 60 seconds. Assuming that I was using my 45-70, would I be at risk of overheating my rifle?
Anyone have a "rule of thumb" on how much shooting before a cooling down is required?
Thanks - Randy
10 rounds "Large Bore" in a minute
What target, what distance, what do they consider "Large" bore?
Keep it Cool for Long Barrel life.
When the round cooks off,( thermally induced firing) you barrel is to HOT. :Fire:
