Rounds Fired before gun change

[Malazan]

When you guys are PD hunting, how many rounds will you fire before going to another rifle so the first one can cool down?

Depends on a few factors.Usually,I have a pretty good idea,how many rounds it takes to get the barrel too warm on a particular rifle,and powder combination,during load work up.Barrel thickness is a factor,as is fluting,and stock vents.I check after 5 fast shots,and watch it close if it's warm.Cleaning usually comes after 50 rounds in a well broke in rifle,in my experience.Your mileage may vary.
