One time my dad and me, put paper pie plates at different distances into a large willow patch, some places the willows were thicker than others ect., at different distances ect.. Then we stood back (again at different distances) and shot at the plates with all kinds of calibers and bullet weights.
It only takes ONE limb to throw a bullet off its course!
NOTHING hit the plates consistently, some would go past the plates, but none could be called ACCURATE at hitting the plates consistently. Many times, pieces of bullet would hit a plate, but like I said, there was NOTHING consistent!
I will say it was fun to see the streaks go into the willows as we shot, sometimes only hitting one or two small willows, sometimes hitting several.
A magazine article once had some testers set up a whole elaborate test to see what a brush buster was. They were much more scientific than WE were, took days to do their testing but the results were the same as ours!
I'm not sure how you got so much smarter than everyone else on everything to do with guns, cartridges and ballistics, but those of us that have been in "it" for more than 50 years, running extensive test and having personal experiences with this stuff, just don't agree with you.
Personally, I have more respect for animals than try to deliberately brush bust!
Excuse me for being rude, but guys that "know it all" are a big reason why I put all of this behind me "once" already, and I'm not going back! lol I'm moving on....
