I beg to differ. 4140 is used by Range Rover for tubular driveshafts, drawn and heat-treated. It's a bit more difficult to draw, but not impossible. 0.1% carbon doesn't make that much difference to its drawign behaviour, and certainly doesn't make it impossible, or 300M and 4340 wouldn't be available as drawn, tubular parts for aircraft undercarriage.
