Fat barrels.. and flyers?

[Northman]

Just wondering.. with a hunting barrel, one can expect to shoot 3-10 rounds before you will have flyers.

Im just wondering how much more can you shoot with a heavy barrel, before the bullets starts flying of course??

For those shooting tactical competitions.. how many rounds do you have down your barrel before you let it cool down?

i tend to believe fliers are shooter related.

if you are hunting and fire more that 3 shots you're basically "shooting"

flyers? I beleve as well as the post above are shooter related.

With exception to maybe "cooking" a round in the chamber if it is hot.

If it's glowing, let it cool off.

Seriously though. I have yet to worry with a bolt gun. I have yet to see my rifle drop below 1 MOA even when the barrel is uncomfortably hot. Just don't let the rounds cook in the chamber for long.

One of these days I am actually going to do a non-scientific evaluation. Normally I am too worried about the training at hand to sweat the minutia.

Flyers? After 3 to 10 rounds? If it's the barrel's fault... THROW IT AWAY!!!
