My brother is into air-powered rifles, among his many other traditional arms. What he showed me, which I've never seen or heard of, is that the rifle bore is smooth except for about an inch, inch and half at the business end. The reason, as he explained, was to maximize bullet velocity and energy. Thinking about the physics aspect, rifling increases drag. The more, and longer, the rifling the more both are lost. The question now is, would this same concept work in a cartrage fired rifle?
Shooting that 30 caliber full-auto is a blast. Too bad it only holds 16 rounds. As soon as the shop gets one in, he's buying the .50 caliber.
