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.
UPDATE
Remington Core-Lokt comes to 7d+1(0.5) pi+, 1,050/4,400. If this is typical of sporting rounds, the FMJ version is the exemplar round.
Being able to find a real round that mimics the published stats means that I will be able to allow stats generated with this book to be used in my game while still using the published numbers... With a lot of exceptions because I think that Pulp and Adventure Guns supplements are suspect. Those are fairly obscure, so I don't think they'll come up much.
I also think that giving round nose, heavy, bullets 80% the range and taking away the +1 to Acc from the Da for longer rounds.
