You can throw it out if you are writing a gunzine article.
But if you come across an outlier like that in a match or when lined up on a trophy buck, it is all yours.
The point was, factory or hand load, it was not representative (or I hope factory and no hand load I have done was that bad).

And testing is where you can throw it out (and I was testing), competition you make darned sure to double check your powder levels.

In this case (pun) I wanted to see what factory velocities were. 200 fps low does not tell me that. throwing it out does.

Data is not a blind thing. Gathering it serves a purpose. In this case it was not to do quality control check on factory but see what velocity they load to.

In my case I don't mess up in the above 2800 fps area in any of my guns. It was interesting to see that the factory 130 gr did indeed meet the velocity listed for those loads (3000 something). That is a cross check with my Chronograph as well.
