Well, I went out to the range again today. I couldn't bring myself to dump water down the barrel. I had planned on it, but I didn't. I did take a cooler of ice water though. Dunked a towel in it, and after evey 3 rounds I wrapped the barrel in the towel, and stood it on it's butt while I walked out and checked the target. By the time I got back, the barrel was cool. I got my shooting done in plenty off time, and even got to whack a few ground grizzlies before it got dark!
