With sabots in temps above 70 degrees F im around the 10 to 15 minute mark, natual cooling no rods or air devices to aid in cooling. Hotter it is closer to 15 minutes. Just last weekend i did a comparison to show someone. I did a three shot group with 2 to 5 minutes between shots, that group was pushing 4 inches at 100. The next three shot group was close to 15 minutes between shots and was right at an inch. Was 90 degrees that day, both groups were the same load.

I shoot them back to back. We have 10 minutes to get 5 shots off during the KY Challenge, zero issues on the line and with nobody asking about cooling down between shots. Sometime I’ll get 6 off in 10 minutes just for fun.

My thought - his question.
If a person’s smokeless powder background is primarily or exclusively with sabots, then this is a natural question. If you’ve only shot boresized bullets, then this is a problem area not encountered.
Each arena of smokeless MLer shooting has it’s own characteristics. The goal is consistent obturation, preferably quick obturation. Use wad or not: there’s not a universal yes or no. Harder to obturate situations - use a wad. Easier obturation - then a wad will likely hurt accuracy.
Full sizing vs smooth sizing. Is one better than the other? Depends. If the bullet hardness, length, caliber, lighter load makes the bullet where a smooth sizing is less accurate, then full size - the obturation is already started and will likely be more accurate. If a heavy load, or softer bullet, heavy bullet is being used, then, likely there’ll be little to no advantage to full sizing: the bullet will obturate quickly and effeciently with smooth sizing.
If a person starts with a robust smokeless 45 cal MLer and shoots comparatively heavy loads, then its easy to generalize that smooth sizing and ignoring barrel temperature is what to do for all smokeless MLing. When, in reality, every one of these technics DI, full vs smooth sizing, duplex, sabots, wads, all have their place, depending….

dang , i did something stupid .... sorry .
my question was about not having to wait shooting without sabouts vs with sabots . i'm a beginner with smokeless as sew mentioned .i have a mild smokeless , .45 patriot with a brux barrel . and i'd like to shoot cheap XTP's faster . i thought i'd seen it mentioned somewhere about not waiting like with sabots .... but i thought i'd ask to be sure .
thanks folks .
