I'm pretty sure that's due to different average humidity in the operational environments affecting the rifling of the bullet as it travels down the barrel and therefore the overall accuracy.
Reducing the factor 20% might be a bit over the top, but we can't do decimal fire values, so I think using 4s in some places and 5s in others is a reasonable compromise.
Ok, confess. How many of you believed that bullshit?
It also had to do with the reduced number of rotations of the grooves in the barrels. That imparted fewer RPMs on the shell, thus resulting in lower accuracy and hence less damage.
I didn't believe it, just thought I could top it...
