... when was the last time that you fired a gun in a big game hunting scenario with enough rounds & fast enough to heat it up enough to have an real effect?
First: Great group !!
Second: this is a generalization - not directed toward 65.
I agree with your inference per thin barrels & hunting.
I don’t think most of us shoot enuff rounds -fast enuff- WHEN hunting for heat to become an issue.
UITerriblyM, I have only shot 3 times at one deer which was running SINCE 1972. BTW I killed him on the 3rd shot. IMO that’s unusual.
