Not really possible to look at rate of expansion without true rates.
Breaks down to [Nosler Velocity^2- CM Velocity^2] / Nosler Velocity^2

Do you mean the Nosler will have a higher rate of expansion, causing it to slow faster, resulting in a slightly lower rate of penetration percentage wise? Like the Nosler is say 25% faster, and because of this will cause the bullet to expand more rapidly and physically, creating a larger frontal area and in turn slowing its rate of penetration faster than the slower moving bullet? I have no clue, I’m just throwing my line of thinking out there.
