I'm sure some of y'all are thinking, "Buy a BOLT GUN!!!"
Well, that's what I'm shooting now, A 223 Savage 12 w/Criterion 'Varmint' barrel.
I load 1 round at a time. After each 5 shot string, I wipe the case necks down and stick the brass back in the box.
I reload and have a tendency to bring plenty of rounds to the Range.
I tend to load-shoot-load-shoot without stop, and sooner or later, barrel gets a bit hotter than I'd like to see,,, (Hotter than what I'd like to squeeze/hold on to for more than a second or so)
Of course, a 'pencil barrel' (like those on a couple of my ARs) run waaay hotter than that, and perhaps 'it ain't really THAT hot', but why do I seem to keep getting 'fixated' on nothing but load, aim, fire, repeat?
Does anyone have any 'special routine' or methodology to help you SLOW DOWN?
(Was joking with a good friend at the range today about this same thing. Told her I might keep all the ammo in the truck, Take (1) round with me to the Bench, shoot, go back to the truck, grab another round,,,,,)
