Is there a significant difference in the heavy and slimmer CFW contours?

IMO ,. Cold Bore, "Fliers" usually come from, 1) a POORLY Stress relieved Barrel or, 2) the IMPROPER Bedding of, the Bbl'd action in the Stock.
And,.. 3) Mis-Matched,.. Bullet to,.. Twist

5-10 shot groups often are an indicator how the wind is blowing on that particular day! Shooting in an underground tunnel or chicken house is different.

Shooting the NRA Hi Power, eons & eons ago - standing, 200 yards.1st & 2nd sighters - no more cold clean bore for next 50 for score.
I always clean & inspect rifles after use, like squeaky clean bores, then degrease bore with 93% alcohol & tight clean patches, a patch dampened in carburetor cleaner works better to remove high grade oil film formulated to protect & lube. Stainless is nice.
Important hunting, clean rifle at range then shoot 2-5, then go hunting for some big beast.
Rodents, clean bore, shoot a few not so far away, then look for a trophy shot many yards away (low pressure - there usually is another one out there. .
