A pointed soft point is the spitzer answer to the blunt jacketed soft point. It keeps the exposed-lead tip for reliable expansion on game but sharpens the profile to cut drag, so it carries velocity and shoots flatter than a round-nose soft point of the same weight.

It is a sensible mid-range hunting bullet. For deliberate long-range work, polymer-tipped and boat-tail match-hunting designs have largely overtaken it, since a bare lead tip can deform in the magazine and is never as uniform as a molded point.
