[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2623619, member: 109862"] This reminds me a bit of the myth of the “brush bullet” - that a heavy blunt bullet moving slower is less deflected by twigs and grass or other vegetation en route to the intended target. I forget where I read it but someone actually tested this theory and it holds no water whatsoever. A varmint bullet at 4K will straight up detonate on a twig but with big game bullets…just try to shoot the deer and not the tree haha!!!! They all deflect terribly! Now I do believe, because i have seen with my own eyes, that really blunt profile bullets at close range just plain hit different (as do monos at warp speed or frangible heavy lead cores at distance - all work totally different in some ways but all work!) But that’s the only reason (besides tube mags) they’re any better for close range work in heavy brush…they don’t magically go in a straighter line through a thicket! 🤣 [/QUOTE]
