I wonder if the original temp was taken too quickly before everything equalized. So realistically the initial mash temp was in the 147 range and not 152. I cannot imagine that a brand new cooler would drop temp that fast. Hell, my 3 year old one does a better job than that.
What about how cold his grains were to begin with?
If he kept them cold for some reason it could sap out some of the heat.

Ideally you take that into account when you calculate your strike temp. Once you get a handle of how your system reacts to temp change you can slowly start moving away from doing calculations beforehand. Yesterday for example, I just guessed and came out fairly close. Had to add a handful of ice to drop it a few degrees but overall pretty good.

And the temp of the cooler.
