[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1524120, member: 85987"] Do the math. At what point does the soft point no longer have the energy? At what point is the soft point unable to be accurately place in the vital zone? All of these questions have answers you can figure out. Using a ballistic program will show most exposed lead tipped soft points have woeful drag coefficients. That will also prove itself out in the wind much closer than the actual energy drops below accepted levels. I shot quite a few 200grn partitions and Speer Hot cors at game at then longer distances when I was young. These were out of 300 mags. They killed well at the distances I used them but today these shots would be chip shots for far lesser cartridges. [/QUOTE]
