I just ordered a flat top 16" upper with lightweight barrel.  My UTE upper with heavy 16" barrel shoots great groups with 62g ammunition.   If I do my part, I can expect sub 1 1/2 MOA groups out to 300 yards.  Should I expect the same accuracy with the lightweight barrel ?   Anyone here have any trigger time with the lightweight barrel uppers ?

My chrome lined light weight (not floated) shot 2" 10 shot groups @ 100 yards on Sunday with a 9x scope, but I really wasn't shootng to seriously that day and the wind was pretty gusty.  I was also shooting plates and not allowing the barrel to cool all the way down between groups. That was with both XM193 and 75 grain Hornady Match.  I was mostly checking for change in POI between those loads, which is about 3 3/4" high and right for the 75 grain.

This is exactly what I wanted to know.  

Thanks Welding Rod !
