Well, I guess I just found one that can. At 52.2% def to ranged W/Cj on (48.1% with SJ on) Here's a Dark/Storms Corr...
Night Fall, Gimped? Maybe, but The Acc To-Hit Debuff Set had Rang Def in it.

First, soft cap is 45%
Secondly, you don't need to absolutely have soft capped ranged defense with a set like storm...
Third, my god, you're gimping half your AoE dmg.
Fourth, Blood Mandate in Tornado.
Fifth, if you're going for ranged defense, why exactly don't you have zephyr sets in CJ and SS?
Sixth, stealth pool?? Is this for pvp exclusively? Most ranged AT's will have access to an Aim variant, negating any def bonuses you've accrued.

1. Yes, I know its 45
2. True, but I was looking to see if it was possible
3. Half? Unless you mean not taking TT, in which case, yea... Agreed
4. Can it not really take that set?
5. Well, uh, not sure. I guess end concerns and slots for CJ but again not to sure...
6. Stealth pool...well What I had did was had a Dark/Kin build in Mids with all the power places and slots for the Dark blasts in place, and just swapped with Stormie to see what I could do with it. I wouldn't think that another other pool could go without as little slots, but who knows.
Perhaps this Sonic/Thermal will make you feel better... 
(Oh, and disregard the fact that the shields nor heals were taken, yes Duelist! Lol)

/Traps can hit the ranged cap without breaking a sweat, and bring a lot of other typed and positional defences along for the ride. My Sonic/Traps is capped to Melee, Energy, and Negative, and 30+ to everything other than Psi, with 50% resist to smashing and lethal for good measure. And I'm on the low end of the spectrum.
Play around with /traps a bit, and see what you can make for yourself. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Sartre once said, "Hell is other people." What does that make an MMO?

I just want to know, is it possible to Soft-Cap a Corr's Ranged Defense? I've tried multiple sets on Mids and closest I've gotten is bout 38% but that seemed to be gimping Twilight Grasp's Accuracy.
So, what powersets would be the best candidates for this? Or, is 38% the closest your probably gonna get?

My fire/storm was pretty easy to softcap to range.
