Remember you are talking about 3 different variables here.

1 Powder
2 Bullet
3 OAL

Not all 150 ge bullets are the same length. Not all powders have data for all calibers and OAL is dependent upon the bullet length and the powder charge. That is why different powders have different OAL for one bullet and may have a different OAL for the same bullet with a different powder charge.
