. Blued or stainless (heat retention/dispersion)

The issue of a barrel walking/moving/twisting due to heat causing a change in POI.
Is this real or as any metal tube that is heated does the effect of the rifling on the projectile just reduce/relax due to expansion therefore a change in the pressure/friction (bore increases in size)effect on the projectile (same as pressure change due to powder load and the effect it can have on accuracy.

What about thought's on this?
