I read a long time ago in magazine from a guy that seem to know his stuff that the difference from a load shot at 1200fps vs say 1100fps don't mean didly by the time they hit the 40yd mark. Both are going to slow down tremendously at that distance vs what you started with at the muzzle. I would worry more about how dense my pattern was before I worried about a load that shot 100 to 150fps faster.
