The higher R values and lower SWR values with the RG58 reflect the lossier coax. If you used RG141 or some even thinner stuff, your SWR would come close to 1 across the band.
The 9913 values are more realistic since the loss, in dB, for such a distance is a fraction of the RG58's. And that is assuming that the 58 you used wasn't old or exposed to the elements. If it was an old scrap, then you had a nice dummy load on 2 meters.
