The longest barrels will tend to have the best lethality. The XM-8 was supposed to have been fielded to most units with a 10" barrel, hardly conducive to better lethality than the M-4 or M-16.
If they shoot different loads, the issued M855 will tend to be among the worst.

McKellar's is the easiest place to zero, as long as you do it between Weds and Sun, IIRC.
