"The Brush Buster Myth"
"A heavy round nose bullet will make it through the brush better than a spitzer (pointed) bullet."
Having had .308 bullets keyhole at about 50 (yes 5 and one zero) yards from hitting a not even woody weed I can sure see where that got started.
Yes, I read some tests on this myth.
Seems there is just enough truth in it to keep perpetuating this myth.
Tests I saw were with 1/4" soft wood dowels
set up 10 yards in front of a large target at 50 yards.
All cartridges and ammo below .375 caliber;
regardless of bullet shape, weight or velocity failed to even hit target.
Frustrated, they finally got a 300 gr RN solid from a 375HH to hit the target.
