Arthur Savage was in California growing oranges or making tires by 1914. Also it's my understanding that Newton wanted the 100 grain bullet and Savage Arms wanted the 87 so they could advertise the 3000 fps and sell more rifles. The author must be a Winchester guy. He's sure giving Savage a bad rap. I'm tempted to go elk hunting with a 250-3K this fall just to show him up. David
