[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 335306, member: 11717"] I think a hardcast bullet would work well, but I think the absolute best bullet for busting brush would be a .50 cal round hardcast lead ball. No stability issues with that bullet. It will go in a straight line. And after giving it a little thought. If I were to to build a dedicated brush buster, it would be a 375 WSM (short action bolt) shooting these... [url=http://www.gsgroup.co.za/375300FN136.html]GS CUSTOM BULLETS - Specifications for use[/url] I would expect a velocity of about 2800 fps out of a 22" barrel with these 300 gr blunt nosed bullets. I think they would handle light brush fairly well within 100 yds (not through 100 yds of brush) and would be good to about 200 yds or so for clear shooting. They would be tough enough to resist deforming by light brush and their fronts expand somewhat down to about 2000 fps on contact with game. A 10" twist would give them a very good stability factor of 4. What is this thread doing in the LR hunting section??? :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
