Might it be fair to surmise the 06 at the time of WWI was pushing 2700-fps and the 300 at introduction a few short years later somewhere around 2600 to 2650-fps? If so then that's not a huge difference. Certainly not enough for a deer to tell the difference with a 150-grain bullet. That's the answer I've come too out of this discussion. So maybe Savage fudged the ballistics a bit, but perhaps not so much to be full on bologna. And certainly not in the spectrum of the 22HP tiger killer - but that's another story for another day.
