Manual's velocities seem to vary greatly for 45-70.

I'd be that buddy...

I don't know that my chrono is "off", but I don't know that it's "on" either. It was dang close on some 22wmr loads, and fairly close to some 44mag loads according to the book. I could have shot through on a funky angle and I know with an arrow that will throw funky speeds, but three shots were 1409, 1493, and 1512. Phoneman and I figured that according to book calculations, that load should be in the 1300-1350fps range.
