Found out this was due to crosswind, not barrel heat.
Zak Smith mentioned on here multiple times that the best length of time to wait between shots was "before the wind changes". Hard to argue with someone like him.

I guess Bart B's (#17 post) can explain it better than I can:
1. How hot does a barrel have to get to affect accuracy (In General Terms)?
2. I saw a video on the net about switching barrels and it made me curious about that. Can you switch a light barrel for a heavy barrel in the same action (assuming the stock will or is made to fit)?
Well, it's not completely wrong but maybe just expressed wrong. Firing faster with a hot chamber can improve accuracy but it's not because of the barrel, it's because the longer the cartridge sits in the hot chamber the longer it has to soak up heat and that may affect accuracy because it may affect the burn rate of the powder. Please note the words in bold.That would be wrong. The receiver has nothing to do with the issue and the faster you fire the hotter it gets. Its totally illogical.
