Could be a number of things...

Different powder lot. Different firearm, Different range, IE elevation or maybe temp. Different Primer. Or just the profile of the bullet...was it a molly bullet?  Of coarse the other is its simply a miss print.

Why not shoot them an email and see what they say.  Every time I've contacted them, I've received an informative response within 24 hrs.  Give it a shot and let us know what they say.   8)
