Noob here.
Somewhere in here I was reading a thread that was talking about relatively soft lead bullets, but coated, then loaded to supersonic velocities not being a problem with leading. Of course bullet fit must be good. Think I can find that discussion? No, can't find it. Basically my take away was that coating made lead hardness a non-issue within reason. But that's just to set up my question.
Would a bullet like that, and I'm thinking COWW lead, and a bullet @2000ish fps, would it expand on game? I don't expect a mushroom like with a jacketed softpoint, but would we expect a pointed meplat to mash down on something like deer?
