I'd consider Mr. Whalen a creditable source. So the 06 with a 150-grain bullet can be identified as a 2700-fps round in 1918. Was Savage's claim for the 300 accurate at 2700 or close enough to make little difference?
You all seem to misunderstand. There were no chronographs the way you understand them today. Velocity was not measured at muzzle. Le Boulenge method was used. If you don't understand this system, look it up. It didn't measure velocity at muzzle. It measured the time it took the bullet to get to the second screen, which was set at 78 feet.
We are talking about two different things here, Whelen's understanding of MV, versus ours today. Stop pretending you "know" if you can't even spell his name right.
