Weekly Gear Update – BarrelCool

Posted by 65guys | on October 14, 2016 | No Comments

Shooting long strings of fire can really heat up a rifle chamber and barrel, and this can affect the performance of precision loaded ammunition. A product called BarrelCool has been brought to market to address this issue. It is a unique, patent pending, product that combines the safety of a chamber flag and a fan to cool your barrel. In this episode the 6.5 Guys take a closer look at this innovative product.

The chamber flag that cools your barrel

While the product can be used during matches, there is often enough time for the barrel to cool between stages. However, we believe the product really shines when it comes to load development where a lot of time is wasted waiting for the barrel (and suppressor if you’re using one) to cool between shot strings.

At $34.99 USD the product is a worthwhile investment. They also have barrel temperature strips available. More information about the product and accessories can be found at the manufacturer’s website: http://barrelcool.com/
