I don't know much about muzzle whip or barrel harmonics. I just know what I experienced with my guns. Maybe both played a role in my results but I have no idea. I can tell you that rifles with "pencil" barrels on lightweight guns are problematic at the bench. They get hot after only a few shots and you have to be very careful to let them cool after each shot. Much more so than regular barrels. I've shot at the bench a lightweight Model 70 in 30-06 and a Ruger 77 in 243 with those barrels and they are a pain. I would never buy a gun with a pencil barrel. I was testing those guns for a buddy.
