[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1779455, member: 109113"] The bullets that I've used that deflected the most when trying to shoot through brush were 1-1/4 ounce 12 gauge slugs. The shooting & hunting magazines have always printed that blunt, slow-moving bullets plow right throw twigs & brush. This has definitely not been my experience. The only thing that has worked for me is to find a hole through the brush that I can get a bullet through, because [B]nothing[/B] shoots through brush. The benefit of using a long & heavy bullet when jump-shooting deer out of the heavy brush is that if your shot is at a bad angle - like going away from the gun - the bigger bullets are likely to penetrate further forward in the animal to get to the boiler room. So, though, are standard-weight bullets of stiffer design - like the Barnes, GMX, or Hammer. [/QUOTE]
