This makes me happy I just purchased a 45/70 Marlin 1895G since where I hunt it's thick brush and most shots will occur at literally 50 yards max

Common myth. All bullets are easily deflected by hitting leaves, branches, grass, rain, etc..It is undeniable that round nose "lever action type" bullets are deflected less than pointy "bolt action type" bullets. Heavier weight helps too.

It would seem obvious that "all bullets are easily deflected by hitting leaves, branches, grass, rain, etc."; deer flies for that matter, but the question still might be "are some bullets (caliber, weight, profile, configuration, velocity., etc.) less prone to deflect than others"? I'm not sure if this question can ever be answered definitively given the variables of the test "materials", distances, angles, wet or dry surfaces, ad infinitum in terms of what "brush" means and what it might consist of.
