Interesting that the mechanics of the soft nose bullets are really an attempt to get a 5 course meal out of a whopper and fries.

A portion of soft nose penetration is sacrificed for tissue trauma.With enough velocity to expand the frontal area the impact becomes the equivilent of a larger bullet for the "shock" part of the hit. Next comes the "kill" part with penetration and disruption of vital structures.If the energy dump with enough velocity is adequate-- the deformed expanded bullet gives a penetration path that is shorter but wider. It will not be as long a path as a solid but hopefully be adequate.

This soft nose effect works fine with tissues other than bone and can give spectacular "shock" results/hits.Forensic theory suggests for charging animals and shooting thru cranial bone that penetration paths by solids is more reproducible with more uniform bullet paths and depths of penetration than irregularly contoured mushroomed softnose bullets. A flathead solid bullet configuration may be the best attempt at obtaining more initial "shock" with adequate solid penetration as well.

Load my 470 with solids please!!
