Obviously, most gun editors consider their readers to be slack jawed, mouth-breathing, grade school drop outs. After reading some of the gun rags, they may be right. All of our clever little Junior Technoids out there are bright as new pennies. Numbers are mother's milk to us.
Numbers are goodness personified.
Start that same pellet out at a whopping, shoulder busting 1330 fps and it only has 1.4 foot pounds of energy at the same distance. You have to go to a second decimal place to see the difference. The target cannot do second decimal place calculations and does not care a whit. The same pellets started at a neck snapping 1330 fps are going 580 fps when they whack that 60 yard target. The difference is only 40 fps at the target.
