Ok,,,,, well it's quite obvious, that you have NEVER Shot a Rifle with a Light-Contoured Bbl.,,,, and Yea, it's called Heat and Physics at play..... cry
Lj in Alaska.... cool

Ten shot groups don't necessarily have to be fired fast enough to overheat the barrel.

Another thing to consider is that rifles with very light contour barrels often do not have stocks that are the best for shooting from bags on the bench. I have a Rem 700 Mountain Rifle with a very slim barrel. Here's an example of what it will do in a more "bench friendly" stock. This five shot group was fired without any cooling time between shots other than reloading and taking aim.

Good shooting mathman. That heavier 5 R stock, seems to help even though that is a skinny barrel. One thing that guys need to understand is that even though a barrel is skinny, it may still have the potential to shoot very well. It all depends on the quality of the barrel and how it was machined. I've had many skinny barrels that shoot lights out. You may have to slow fire them. IE: 1 shot per minute, but it is entirely possible to put 10 shots into sub moa with a skinny barrel. If it's a good barrel.
