I have been warming up my gear by letting the vials stand in hot water for a few minutes before drawing it up. With the barrel being cold and fumbling around a bit things were pretty cool before I was pushing it. Lately I have been drawing everything up and putting the cover back on the draw pin. I take a dish cloth and completely wet it then ring it out and microwave it for a minute. I roll the barrel up in the smoking hot cloth and let it sit for a few minutes. Just before I pin it and after I have the site all prepped and clean I switch to a fresh needle. The oil flows really nice and things are smooth and easy.
I had read about dropping the filled barrel and all into a tall glass of hot water but that kind of sketched me out because of possible water intrusion and contamination.
