Problem with Lapua Reloading Manual?

Just picked up a 7mm Remington Magnum & was scoping out loads for 184 gr Berger Hybrid with N165. Their closest load was for the 180 gr Scenar {min, max} = {44.3 gr, 53.7 gr}, which seems quite low to me and is low comaped to Quick Load estimates. Looking at adjacent loads, for the 175gr SBT, the listed min, max are {52.6 gr, 62.7 gr} and for the 194 gr Berger, {54.9 gr, 60.8 gr}, both loads significantly higher.

Seems to me the Lapua load data are not correct, perhaps dangerously low at 44.3 gr when the case capacity is closer to 83 gr water.

Help.
