Half-full or half-empty in this case?

For end-grain I find estimates of 75% stength on average expecting considerable variation joint-to-joint, assuming proper pilot holes have been drilled. If the hold scales with the diameter of the screw, then a larger screw might compensate.

The square of the wood's specific gravity might dominate differences:

Also, what is the pull-resistance on the snap joints themselves?
