Ok, so yesterday I went shooting twice, once in the morning to the local range, and then later in the pm up the mountain behind the house.
At the range I shot 50 rounds of 7SAUM, and probably 15 .308 through the can, being a hot 7 I dont like to shoot long strings through it. But most of my shooting were load testing in 5 shot groups, so there were ten or so 5 shot strings fired at a rate of probably one every 45-60 seconds, it got pretty hot, and if I remember right the first string I could smell the paint. But after all my shooting, and an additional 30 rnds fired in the afternoon, the paint still looks fine, no discoloration, peeling or otherwise. I have no doubt that If I overdid it, shooting long and hard it would eventually start causing problems, but if I can keep my foot out of it, I think it'll be just fine.
