New to this site as well as reloading so go easy on me please.
I know there is plenty info on this topic and how to do it as far as powder charges and what not.
The question I have about it is time between shots. Do you let your barrel cool after each shot?
I have a Browning Hells-Canyon in 6.5 so the barrel is relatively small so it heats up pretty quick.
Any thoughts and tips would be appreciated..
 
I don't wait for it to cool down myself but I do go at a moderate pace and pay a little attention to how long a cartridge hangs out in a hot chamber.

Satterlee's method works really good though if you are on your game at the bench.

Good luck and Merry Christmas!

I started doing this method years ago before it was named after anyone. I used one case to hold the case volume constant, so the shot interval time was however long it took to deprime, size, load, and shoot. About a minute I’d guess haha.
