I Think I Found The Exemplar

Plugging the, surprisingly hard to find, dimensions for Cartridge, .30 calibre, ball, M1906 and Cartridge, .30 caliber, ball, M1 into the Gun Stats formula gets different results.

I stopped rounding the length to diameter ratio... 

M1906 gets 7d pi, 890/3,700
M1 gets 7d+1 pi, 1,190/5,000
M2 gets 7d+1 pi,  920/3,900

M1 is a lot closer to the original published stats of 7d+1 pi, 1,100/4,500.
