Default RE: Gold Dot SP

Doing some "Googling" I found a Speer article which said that many soft points require 1300 fps to begin expansion. I went to the Hornady ballistic calculator and used a MV of 1700 which yielded 1382 fps@ 100 yds.

Is 1700 fps at the muzzle a reasonable assumption for the 270 bullet and 90 RS?
