FredAz,
Yes, someone did say E=MC^2, and I did use that in my math and finished the calculation to get to ft/lbs per the below.
My long math:
(grain weight of pellet * fps*fps ) / (2 * acceleration of gravity * number of grains in a pound)
or for the .177 example
(10.3 * 870 * 870) / (2* 32.16 * 7000) or
7796070 / 450240 = 17.3 fps, which is the number I posted, and is not off by a factor of 2
