As I understand it, Lee's
Modern Reloading publishes recipes researched from other publications. I opine it would be far better to use the original sources when looking for any load recipes that explore the edges of the performance envelopes.
The powder manufacturers maintain their own ballistics laboratories, and most bullet manufacturers do, as well.
By all means, use Lee's manual for pedestrian data, but look to those who show their source data for the really good stuff.
Some people see me as a Lee fanboy (and there is a certain amount of truth in that, but limited) and I like the book and use the load data myself. But only as an adjunct to more authoritative sources, particularly if I am near the edge of the performance envelope..
