Lazy.
You have to admit, the OP's 2,500 fps is pretty close to 2,518.
2,500 is pretty coincidental so I suspect the OP is rounding here.
I use QL in all calibres because, among other things, it is conservative. So while the predicted velocities are never exactly what the chrono measures it gives me confidence it is safe. I compare QL against manufacturer's tables and start 10% low. I think the loads on this forum tend to be hot so don't pay too much attention to what others do here. Plus the recent criticism of it here was undeserved.
