Both of my Daniel Defense 16" 5.56 barrels easily shoot under MOA. Like them because they are CHF and have factory pinned gas blocks. They are 1:7 and I have both a carbine and a mid length gas barrel. As someone else mentioned a 77gr SMK Mk262 clone load is a very good round.

What is your favorite barrel?

No matter what you read on the intarweb CCI450s and CCI41s ARE NOT BALLISTICALLY IDENTICAL with H110! I'm also not a intarweb lawyer so I don't argue with anyone who is.

Faxon Gunner profile, either 5.56 or Wylde, which ever floats yer boat. Same with barrel length. HTH

Re: What is your favorite barrel?
For my higher end builds I like Faxon and Ballistic Advantage so far, but I bought them by reputation, I haven't tried most of the other higher end brands. My 6 ARC has a BA 20" SS Performance Series barrel with a 7.5 twist. I think they consider it a DMR profile, I know it weighs about 3 pounds stripped. It shoots better than I can.
I also built a defense AR using a 16" SS match grade Faxon Pencil profile barrel in 223 Wylde with a 7 twist and 5R rifling which I'm currently breaking in. I would have bought a Gunner profile barrel but I got a a very nice discount on the Pencil barrel and I wanted very light weight. Most people get sub MOA but some don't. I haven't shot it much but groups just over MOA so far. I hope this helps.
