As you all know Savage made claims to its new round equaling the 30-06 Springfield in performance when it was brought out after WWI. For sake of discussion, does anyone know what the original muzzle velocity was of the round and how that compared with the 06 in it's WWI configuration. I know the latter was stoked to about 2700-fps with a 150-grain pill for the Garand in WWII, but I don't think those specs held true for the Great War. So how close were the two in performance when the 300 was brought out and how far did they drift apart with the advent of more modern powders?
