If it were me I'd be weighing up how conservative I think both manufacturer and QL are, while appreciating how small differences like case length and volume make big changes in pressure, when using a [relatively] fast compressed powder. Also, it's fair to assume Barnes is telling the truth when they actually tested this. Barnes is empirical evidence, whereas QL is a computer simulation. To my mind both Barnes and QL are close here, so I'd be also close but less than both - I'd use Barnes as the confident benchmark, and QL to do what-if's for things like different seating depths, and in your case, case capacities.

...and cross check with other published data from powder and bullet manufacturers. After all, they have a lot to use if they get something wrong either way.
