Hey guys I have a question. I love to shoot, and shoot almost every day. My question is, is there a danger of shooting a gun to much? Can the barrel heat up too hot and cause damage? When shooting, lets say a .30-06, how many shots can you fire before you should stop to let the gun cool? I clean my guns everytime after shooting them. But is it dangerous to shoot too much without letting the barrel cool?
The hotter you get your barrel, the fewer rounds you can shoot through it before the barrel needs to be replaced. When the barrel becomes WARM to the touch, let it cool! That means after every four or five shots!
