Unless you are mag dumping, barrel heat is not going to much of an issue.
Accuracy is a bigger issue. Load ammo with (e.g. 22-25 gr) in 0.5 gr increments and see if there is a sweet spot for accuracy.
Unless you are shooting 500 yards, the actual velocity does not much matter. Just need enough powder to cycle the rifle and then look for accuracy.

Good question. I have run my rifle so hot in the summer, you can't even pick the brass up without burning your fingers long after it's been shot. I think there is a point of diminishing returns on cooling after so many rounds go downrange after a certain velocity.
