Consistently; how?

1. Day after day with only 1-2 shots fired at any one time?

2. Same day with numerous rounds through the barrel while working up a load or practicing. Warm to hot barrel here.

3. Or maybe in that "target rich environment" where touching your barrel will hurt?

I agree that for #3 and more than likely #2, a heavy or "heavier" barrel is in order but for #1, a light barrel will be accurate enough as long as proper load development occurs and it hits same POI day after day.
