Steve In Vermont,
My theory to explain your question: the 158gr being the heavier bullet will produce a more aggressive pressure curve due to its inertia than the 148gr. Titegroup being a faster powder than W231, it can reach the required pressure with less of it than the slower W231. I think... :-)
