What Is Soft Point Ammo?
A soft point bullet has a copper jacket with lead exposed at the tip. On impact the soft tip deforms first, starting controlled expansion while the jacket holds the bullet together for deep penetration.
Soft points are among the most popular hunting bullets because they balance expansion and penetration. Classics like Remington Core-Lokt and Federal Power-Shok have taken countless deer.
In lever-action rifles with tube magazines, flat-nose soft points are the safe choice. For hunting, match the bullet weight and construction to the game and the range you expect.
Soft points also come in specialized designs such as bonded soft points, which fuse the core and jacket for maximum weight retention, and semi-jacketed soft points in handgun calibers for hunting with revolvers.
