So you chose only one source of handloading data, and then included every load, not just the fastest ones? That isn't skewed? Give me a break.
I have no idea how you came up with that scenario. Perhaps I am the one who should be saying - "give me a break".
Re-read my posts - I included ALL the max velocity loads or both cartridges listed in PSI in the Hodgdon data. I then added them and averaged them.
In my second post - I used only the highest velocity load listed in the Nosler manual for calculations since you questioned the average speed of the of the Hodgdon data.
I do not know how much clearer that can be. How you can interpret that as skewed I have no idea.
But once again you are circumventing that for practical purposes there is little, if any, difference in recoil when using 40 gr bullets at, or near, top velocity in both cartridges.
