Differences between hodgdon and hornady manuals

I'm looking at data for a gas gun with the Hornady 75gr BTHP over Varget.
Hornady is the more conservative of the two and is data for a Service Rifle.

Hornady: 19.4 to 23.5
Hodgdon: 22.5 to 25.0C

I think Hodgdon used a bolt rifle (and a different brand 75gr bullet) and may be why they have the larger powder loads, ie pressures.

Am I right?
