200degc is quick swipe smears fingerprints instantly and a hold of any sort is blisters guarenteed.
above that skin usually sticks to metal

I dont shoot much compared to most on here but work on my measure of 150c being max before a rest.

Internal temps will go way way way over this with rapid fire!

200 smells cool too
