So if it was 2700-fps then Savage's claim wasn't a bunch of advertising hyperbole? That is assuming that the service round was clocking out at the same speed and bullet weight. I always thought the general consensus was that Savage dipped its toe into the pool of marketing with this one when the round was introduced. Interesting reading the new round as described - a necked up 250. Implying the quarter bore was the parent round. That helps square up the 300's historical context.
