Timely thread. To be 118-120 tomorrow and I'll be checking the barrel temps of two new fangled fluid steel and one damascus shotgun with an infrared thermometer at the beginning, middle and end of a round of skeet out at Ben Avery in the morning.
I can say there is NO WAY one can hold the barrels at the end of a round during Hell Season in the desert without a handguard or gloves.
Results to follow...if I can still use my digits
