I know how match barrels act and react. But not all of us shoot or hunt with match grade barrels. The ultra thin barrels will change POI when they got warmed up. Some claim this is because they were bent at one time. Maybe, and maybe not. Mine was treated {Frozen} and yet still when it got hot would string shots. My extra heavy barrels did not. But there can be many reasons for shot stringing.
Over the past 40 years of loading I have tried many different so called cures. Some helped and some made no difference at all. Some boiled down to the shooter alone. I have seen some post that they never bag or bench a rifle for hunting. OK, how could one know what the rifle actually does then? I would have to chalk that up to lucky shooting or a rifle that was dead on to start with. So, what then happens when their ultra light mountain rifle would begin stringing shots? Without a rest that shooter would never really know.
I do not shot bench rest. I have watched some and picked up some good ideas.
In fact I no longer compete in any form. Just hunt.
Here is a link to a list of reasons for stringing groups.
