To argue the point the other direction, does soft shot tend get snagged in feathers more and penetrate less a a result? I believe the plated shot makers (and possibly Kent with their polished Diamond Shot) have claimed better penetration due to less feather fouling.

I would also think mushrooming matters more for single strikes (big game with one bullet) than multiple pellets striking small game.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
