I reach around from the bench, grab the rear of the barrel near the action. If I can comfortably keep my finger there I shoot. If not I go for a whiz, smoke a cigarette or drink my coca cola, but I don't shoot that hot barrel. Unless it's quite a warm day I can get 2 shots from a sporter barrel, 3 from a heavy barrel before having to let it cool. Increase that nuber by 1 on a cool spring or autumn day. Regardless of the caliber you can burn out the barrel by shooting it hot too often. Best wishes.
