As mentioned, depends on the sources where the information is gathered I guess.

I'm guessing that the folks that reload their own ammo find data that works for then.

1409 ft-lbs energy.

I guess 19 ft-lbs energy difference using The IMR data info and JBM calculater might not work for us.

Hopefully wrong of course
