Seems to me that velocity is overrated.

Allow me a few simplifying assumptions:
Bird is flying across at 30 mph at 30 yards
Two different loads - 1200 fps and 1400 fps. For simplicity, I will assume the average speed of the shot over the travel to the bird is 900 fps and 1050.

The difference in the movement of the bird between the two loads is about 3".
