To shoot that at least 1/8 rifling is needed
Unfortunately, most commercial barrels are 1/9 (good enough for M855 green tip) and the 1/8 barrels out there are quite spendy since they're usually match quality.
If you can find .mil 1/7 barrels, you can't go wrong....if.
BTW, the 262 load from Black Hills made the M4 into quite the killing machine. Next time anyone sees Jeff Hoffman, shake his hand.
