theres no way the lawyers are going to let them publish data without doing at least some confirmation pressure testing first. especially when working with powders like h110 that are known to be touchy at upper levels.
while i suspect you're correct and we can just use 250 data (and probably head right for the 38gr lil gun load with some simple testing)... as a major manufacturer they've got things tying their hands before they can actually let data out into the wild.
much like those little old ladies say...
They might do some testing, probably max loads, and if the charge isn’t quite as high as the 250 FTX, I bet they change the load data for the 250 FTX. Mainly, I’m doubting they have a separate page just for the interlock.
And to your point about the lawyers not approving, then no one would release a bullet until load data is published. Which doesn’t usually happen. Case in point, you have Barnes, who still to this day, doesn’t have load data on their own website for the 275 TSX (or any 450B for that matter). I believe it wasn’t until Hodgdon released their own data on the bullet, that Barnes had any load data, if you personally contact them.
