It will depend on the numbers. Drive it with a 30-30 will be different than driving it with a 300 Weatherby. In high speed footage you can see the lead tip melting. This will create a larger cross sectional nose slowing the bullet faster than the original profile. Some programs can show this. Some bullets will have very poor bc numbers to reflect this. Shooting them on a range for drops will also show this.Basically all I'm asking is at what distance do soft points pretty much break down and not do what they are designed to do. (Kill distance). I've never shot a deer beyond 350 yards with a soft point, so just seeing if anyone else gotten farther than that. I'm just looking for a general number.
