Do you know the length of those bullets? I would like to run the math numbers.
The other thing the long Lehigh 40-200 will shoot great out of the 1-30, but you really need to push it out and a lot will not be willing to load a gun up to reach the best accuracy. Can you shoot the PR with a moderate load 90-100 grain load? Of course you can shoot it... but will it shoot acurately to 200+ yards. I know it will from a 1-24 or faster but not sure of 1-28/30.
I believe if some one makes a faster twist ML other than the Savage smokeless - those bullet might get developed, until there is a demand to create profitabilty - I doubt that it will happen.
