According to some in the industry, raw aluminum gives better grip than ano. Area 419 had some testing done on this.
You'll be removing less than .020" of material - from an engineering perspective, that's really not a lot.
Practically speaking, the biggest challenge I see is fixturing.
Might...

-FMJ,
-Bonded bullet that retains 99% of its weight (interbond or A-Frame)
-mono that retains 100% of its weight (Barnes)
-mono that retains 60% of its weight (CEB)...
Sweet rifle!
Not trying to be smart here - I've had the same situation a few times with LPVO's where I see the barrel at low power.
