Not only does Hornady not compare the same velocities but they are saying you'll get more velocity.
Unless you provide additional proof I'm going to have to go with hawg wash.

No, look up calculating free recoil of a gun. Powder is mass, and those hot gases have mass and actually more velocity than the projectile. Have you ever shot a savage smokeless ML? I have and you will see significally less recoil with even higher velocity than a typcial 100gr 240gr load.
This page is very accurate. Play around with load and watch the significant drop
