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.
All the info is on there site and again length on a given bullet is dictated by design and yes if it's accurate at 100 yds, it will be at 200 yds.Savage no longer makes a .45 cal.Knight carries Lehigh and has a special 175 gr .40 cal Barnes bullet and can't work with a bullet maker to produce a heavier lead jacketed bullet to assist in boosting there .45 cal muzzle loader sales?there is a lot of info already out there on what will work as far as heavier/longer 40 cal jacketed bullets are concerned...it's not that complicated
