Ok so for all intentional purposes Blue Loctite will liquefy at around 450 deg F. Given that number I plan on taking my MiniTemp laser gun with me to the range next time to do some testing on the temp of my different rifle barrels next to the receivers after firing some shots. Not only in different calibers but with some different powders, since I think that the difference in powders is a factor also. Maybe not that much but I'm still curious to see. Also because of the hand guard on my gas guns I'm not really able to feel the temp like I can on my bolt guns. We'll see what happens. I'm hoping after firing 20 shots with my 6.5 Grendel in around 30 - 40sec. that I'm nowhere near 450* F.
