Well the end result will look the same at 80 or 90 as it did at 50 (or 100-120). They don't expand, the petals separate and spin out, the core drives through. The fact that they work at 50gr... means they are good to go at any powder choice. The copper vs brass that are currently offered, just allows them to comply with addl state laws.
