How Hot ???

Had my 30-06 at the range 2 weeks ago and not thinking(having too much fun)I let the barrel get too hot. By that I mean when I touched it 4" or so down from the chamber it was too hot to touch for more than 2 seconds.
Think it did any metallurgical damage to the barrel?

Any mettalurgical change will almost always be evident. Two seconds maybe about boiling point (of water). Not enough to alter the steel.
OTOH, rumor has it that some (stainless) barrels will blow if too cold.
That's what I thought guys but a friend of mine told me(I didn't believe it)that I need to have the barrel checked to make sure it's not junk.
when i was young i had a guy tell me that shooting 6 rounds through my revolver rapid fire ruined the barrel{lol}

Well than I guess that guy that fires 6 rounds in 1 second will fast need a replacement. [:D][;)]

Oh wait, you asked a gun question. Shoot. Um, wait, no I mean um, darn.
Worst case is that you reduced the life of the barrel by perhaps double the # of rounds you fired. Considering that a 30-06 barrel (actualy it's the throat of the chamber inside of the barrel) has a normal life of 5,000 slow fire rounds. Let's say that you heated up the barrel with the first 10 rounds, and than went through 50 rounds after the barrel was hot, than figgure that you reduced the throat life by 110 rounds of "slow fire".
The next question is, are you (and your rifle) "good enough" accuracy wise to even be able to tell the difference between a "perfect" barrel and a "shot out" barrel?
I thought the wood was going to burst into flames.
I couldn't hardly touch the wood it was so hot.
Now this is to hot to handle, I don't think your was this hot ahhahah[:)][:D][:p][}:)][^]
