Quoted: An average M16A4 or M4 should do 2 MOA (approximately 6.5 inches at 300 meters) all day long with GI M855 Green Tip.

Absolutely, and green tip ammo sucks - always has shots flying out the top. I dont think people understand how accurate a basic AR/M4 is to begin with, or what all comes into the picture for accurate shooting.
If you really look at it you can think about what it takes to shoot 2 MOA at 300yds. The 10 ring in High Power shooting is 2 MOA for the 300yd rapid string. These guys have 20" SS, free floated, match barrel, match trigger, shooting coat, sling, glove, mat, hand loaded ammo - and of the Presidents 100, only 22 were able to put all 10 shots in the 10 ring.
If you gave soldier a new M4, 100rds of MK262, and told him to shoot a B27 at 300yds I would bet that target would get hit 100 times.
If you then gave that same soldier a new M4 with a 14.5" SS match barrel and 100rds of MK262, and told hit to shoot a B27 at 300yds I would bet that target would get hit 100 times.
I'm not talking about an "X" count. I'm thinking, if armed, would that B27 not be shooting back?
I wonder how different the groupings of the two targets would look?
Do you think its better to upgrade to the match barrel, or upgrade to the match ammo and keep the standard barrel? I think "ball" ammo will still shoot like ball ammo out of a match barrel, but good ammo will always shoot better out of a standard barrel.
Sorry, I'll stop my rambling now.
