Lapua Website Velocity Typo ?

Flouncer

What the heck it works for me !!
Is this an error or mistake ? Am I reading this correctly ??

http://www.lapua.com/en/products/sport-shooting/centerfire-rifle/14#tables


The highest velocity 4.5 g/69gr HPBT Scenar factory loaded ammunition available. The 925mps/3030fps muzzle velocity gives extended effective range and excellent accuracy.

Best I can copy and paste shows 2789 fps for the 69gr.. ????

223 Rem. (5.56x45) 4315011 Scenar
2789 2525 2277 2044 1430 100 0 -4 -14 -105 20
69 gr 1199
 
There has to be an error in the conversion or intent. What is interesting to me is that the 55 gr was measured from a 26" barrel and the 69 gr was measured from a 20". I wouldn't think the 26" barrel with 69 gr bullet would give you 200ft+ velocity over a 20" barrel
 
I am not a nanny or a Heckler, but I found another error on their website. Free advice: Look at the 8mm brass case listed here:

I use the Safari Browser and Mac OS 10.4 and the HTML of the table doesn't translate well into here. But the 8mm case designation is listed as "7.62x39" or ????

Not a nit picker but Lapua is. Perfection in everything.
