Soft-nosed bullets are projectiles designed with a soft lead tip, which allows for controlled expansion upon impact. This expansion increases the bullet's diameter, leading to greater tissue damage and energy transfer, making them particularly effective for hunting. They contrast with full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets, which are designed for penetration and less expansion. Soft-nosed bullets are often favored in hunting scenarios where quick, humane kills are desired.
Firearms ammo is divided into rimfire, such as .22 Long Rifle ammo, and centerfire, which has a primer in the center of the rear of the cartridge- such as .38 Special, 9mm, .308 Winchester, etc. Soft nosed refers to the composition of the bullet. Rather than having a full jacket of copper/nickel gilding metal (military ammo has that) a soft nosed bullet has the soft lead core exposed at the tip. These are typically used for hunting or self defense.

No
Round nosed or flat nosed. Until Hornady created the "Leverlution" cartridge, which has a pointed PLASTIC tipped bullet, only flat tipped or round nosed bullets were used in cartridges for a tubular magazine rifle- since the base of each cartridge is resting on the nose of the following cartridge, a spitzer (pointed) bullet could cause the primer of the round ahead of it in the magazine to fire- very bad results.
"Less lethal" is a very subjective term, however, a hollow point bullet is generally considered to be more effective in regards to stopping an adversary than a round nosed bullet.

The answer varies, depending on WHICH .45 caliber bullet, and which weapon fires it. In the case of the 1911A1 pistol, in .45 ACP, firing a standard 230 gr. round nosed bullet, when elevated to 33 degrees, the bullet will travel 2096 ft. Not accurately, but that is it's maximum RANGE.
No Name on the Bullet was created in 1959.
