I think you're OK.

Every rifle is a law unto itself. Some are fast, some are slow.

Also, data sources vary and data changes over time. Some data is mild (or becomes that way) in deference to older rifles. In the case of the 30-06, data publishers have to allow for the chance that a hot cartridge could blow up a low-numbered 1903 Springfield.

I checked Hodgdon's 30-06 data (https://www.hodgdonreloading.com/reloading-data-center?rdc=true&type=54) since they make Superformance powder. Their data shows about 125 fps faster than Hornady with 175- and 180-grain bullets over similar charges of Superformance.
