Your first example would fairly well correlate to the missing variable of pressure loss due to the barrel/cylinder gap, per "Iowegan's" constant of 1.5% loss per .001" b/c gap. Had you stopped right there, I would have thought I had a mental handle on it .... but NOOOOOO ... you had to throw me an anomaly with the second one :)

Yeah, I know there's nothing definite except death and taxes, and taxes ;)

Remember that QL is just a calculated guess, a pretty good one but calculated still the same. I've had the same thing happen with published data. Could be a lot of things, SD & ES of the given load of powder, all kinds of stuff. I've come to not worry about it too much as I'm just looking for a point not to exceed.
