How to Select the Right Centerfire Chamber Chiller
One size nozzle doesn't fit all without making serious compromises in performance by restricting the airflow through a smaller nozzle.
About Nozzle Fit
Using the incorrect sized nozzle (too small) may result in the Chamber Chiller nozzle melting inside of your chamber.
Bad Fit Example
If you're using the correct nozzle, the nozzle should not able to insert into the chamber.The nozzle should rest on the edge of your chamber nearest your magazine well.
Good Fit Example
The Chamber Chiller nozzles are designed to fit a range of cartridge rim diameters. If you don't know your cartridge rim diameter you can look it up. For best fit we recommend measuring your ejection port dimensions as well.
Ejection Port Measurements
The sizes listed below will work in most circumstances. If you have a fit issue after purchasing we will exchange with you for another model.
The best solution for multiple rifles may be to purchase multiple chamber chillers.

About Chamber Chillers
When metal heats, the molecules excite and cause expansion. When metal becomes overheated, barrel harmonics also change, vibration increases, and shots begin to vertically string. A hot barrel also contributes to pressure failures, and increased throat erosion. You want a cool barrel so that each shot is consistent, and wear is minimized. This is why I’ve created the “Chamber Chiller” rifle barrel cooling fan.
After testing homemade and commercially-available barrel cooling devices, I discovered several key areas that could be improved for better performance and functionality. As a result, I designed and developed my own Chamber Chiller rifle barrel cooling fan devices. These are functional products, each device is hand assembled with off-the-shelf parts or 3D printed parts right here in the United States.
The idea behind the Chamber Chiller is simple: cool the chamber where heat often sinks into the loaded cartridge causing higher pressure, and deliver cool air down even the longest rifle barrel using a high-output fan. Impressive air volume forced past the barrel tenon at a high static pressure means much less time is needed for cooling-down, which also equals quicker recovery to optimal operating temperatures.
- Efficiently cools the barrel and chamber
- Helps maintain accuracy
- Prolongs barrel life
We currently offer side ejection port models for centerfire rifles, some rimfire calibers and some shotgun shell sizes. Each model is available with either a traditional household AA alkaline battery pack or USB powered in either right or left hand.
