Well... nobody increases velocity for velocity's sake.

A 60 fps velocity difference of a 1.46 grain #7 1/2 lead pellet at 40 yards works out to very nearly 20% difference in kinetic energy which is the whole point of the exercise.

Drag increases with the square of velocity, but so does kinetic energy.

It's good to have options and to understand the options, but I really like the way a 1330 fps load of nickel plated 5's ices a pheasant.

I never did like running.
