    rash generalisation here.......I BELIEVE most 55grn projectiles have traditionally been stouter/harder than 50 grn projectiles of same type
    I BELIEVE historically this was due to the 50grn being a 222 projectile and 55 used in .223 and faster......its the reason Ive always leant towards 50 grn projectiles in my 223 for wallabies .I can push them along with a not so hot load and they still do the expandy/killem quickly thing.
    of course when talking a varmint/varmit dedicated projectile all bets are off,they are designed with thin jacket to blow up on impact with little encouragement.
