What's a couple of pounds among friends!? 
Actually, the chart I go by says 49 lbs dry for fine thread bolts. I usually go a couple of pounds under on used bolts and inspect them really close for stretch before reusing. Also make sure the torque numbers you use state if it's to be applied dry or oiled. Even the weight of the oil will make a difference but since I use Loctite, no oil goes on them.
