Some insight to why a light barrel and heavy barrel can be equally accurate.

It was a 200 yard match on an overcast still day. I know the woman. Have known her a long time. She had no long term shooting experience. There were a few perfect scores. She had 1 more x.;)

Back to OP: Barrel heat effects a heavy and a thin barrel the same way assuming the rifles are built correctly.
 
reynolds, what competitive shooting discipline did she participate and win in?

F-Class?

Benchrest; if so what type, hunter, varmint, unlimited or what?

High power 3 position?

High power prone?

A standard barrel will shoot just as accurate as a heavy barrel hands down,Till you heat barrel up,That is where heavy barrel will start to shine.

Be careful you're not comparing a heavy rifle that moves less in recoil while the bullet's going down its barrel compared to a light one that moves more during barrel time when both are hand held by a shooter.

Yes that needs to be taken in to considration.
 
Bart, it was unlimited. Shooting only from a bench with mechanical rest. 6ppc.
The shoot is not sanctioned. As I said earlier, shooting standing, kneeling, prone, sitting, etc. will definitely not be picked up in three weeks.
