One gunsmith (Norman Johnson, maybe?) took some rifles with bull barrels, shot them on target, then pulled the barrels and CAREFULLY turned them down to sporter taper, put them back on, then shot them again. Accuracy was not changed.

Of course these were commercial target and varmint models to start with and standards were moderate.
You don't see benchrest shooters with light barrel profiles.
