When I rapid fire...I limit each string, to about six rounds per. Any barrel that is to hot too touch, is at or beyond the 180 degree Fahrenheit mark, which contributes to rapid barrel wear. You might be able to get away with more rounds fired rapidly with a 22 rimfire, but I usually cool my barrels down, with portable auto fans, that are run by 12 volt motorcycle batteries; that I mount on the rifle bench.
Like the other poster said: Beware of the potential for hot barrel cook-offs, with the hot barrel cooking the live round in the chamber so much, that the firearm will discharge the round by itself.
