·i know this subject has been brought up before but i'll bring it up again.
I think the term brush gun is misunderstood, maybe by me but i have my own way of looking at it.
To me a brush gun is a quick handeling rifle and thats it. period. it doesn't mater the calibar. all bullets will deflect or get eatten up by the brush/limbs. its more where in the distance to the animal the obstruction is met. a foot from the target the bullet will hit the target. a foot from the muzzle and its doubtful. I've seen maxi-hunters from a ml gobbled up by brush and they don't get much heavier than that.
the idea that bullets will punch through brush, accurately, is wrong. not to mention is a questionable shot to begin with.
When i hear the term brush gun the second thing that comes to mind is a shotgun loaded with buckshot, the first being that quick handeling thing. just my opinion.
