I would think you are probably correct with that assumption. At those velocities they are only a few bullets that will still perform. At the reduced velocity the hollow point does not shear its way through things just more or less collects things. Even some spire pints would have a hard time working to their normal standard.

And really for most of the hunters out there the comparison of the different bullets @ 80 grains could be a telling thing. But the again you really have an opportunity to help the Power Belt people out - they will even work well.
