The best brush busting technique is to avoid the brush altogether.
If the only shot you have is through brush, then pass on the shot.

I feel it is a un-ethical hunter whom would run the risk of wounding a deer or other animal by attempting to rush a shot through brush. Why not wait and plan a shot as the deer moves around eventually the animal will present a clear shot in a opening. I have personally watched deer for over a 1/2 hour waiting on that magic moment. It is understandable that occasionally a un-noticed limb or small tree will accidentally appear out of nowhere. Case in point is I have never shot at or harvested a deer over 100 yds. with either a muzzle loader or high power rifle. I have harvested a bunch of them. First Monday Maryland rifle season I hunted with my fathers rifle as I always do since he passed, watched a seven point buck 45 mins. work his way towards me through very thick brush, with his girl friend in the lead. He is now venison in the freezer. Patience in my part is a part of being a true hunter.
I've seen modern rounds even, compared, and they don't like going through stuff like twigs.

Oh man....send that .35 Marlin to me!!I remember back in the early 70s when I started deer hunting so called "brush busting" rounds were advertised as such and many, myself included bought into that myth. I never hated a gun more than the 35 Rem Marlin lever gun I bought starting out because I thought one needed a 'brush buster".
Bottom line, don't hit the obstructions with either of them.
burlesontom made a post and video that was about modern cartridge guns only. I understand why he did it but because of our rules, posts that don't have anything in them about muzzleloading guns are usually removed.I am curious, why was my post deleted? Please PM me with a more thorough explanation beyond it relates to another post deleted. I neither did nor wrote anything wrong.
