In this video we pose the question, "what is a brush gun?" and attempt to shed a little light on the myth of big, flat bullets simply trucking through thick brush and thin pointy bullets veering off into the great unknown. Lets see what happens...

@charlescole7532 4 года назад

There can always be small twigs you can't see. I think that's the concern when shooting in the woods. You should never fire a gun in thick brush when you don't have a clear view of the target.

@claytonmcdonald9520 4 года назад

Don't shoot at anything when something is blocking your sight. Except for war. When I got back from overseas, I went in the " deer woods" with 3 other's. 2 where brothers, I stopped one brother from shooting through brush, I put my hand on the barrel and said no! We waited about 3 seconds and his brother walked out with the fourth guy. He just going to shoot thinking it was a moose. I left and never went out with them again. Be safe and sure, use your thinking compartment when in the deer woods.

@darkcircle899 Год назад

30-30 is a good deer cartridge and yes it can take an Elk but it's definitely not ideal. Elk going down after being shot with a 30-30n isn't pretty I would step up to a bigger cartridge for Elk.

@carltonmclean9283 4 года назад

Excellent video showing the difference between a pointed (SPITZER) high velocity bullet vs a slower moving , heavier flat nose bullet moving through a brush type environment. When first being trained with a M16 carbine (semi & fully automatic) at the range at Lackland AFB in 1967, we were told that even small branches could cause the bullets to stray off target. We were told to shoot when we had a clear targets! I never liked the looks of the M -16s despite aquiring a small arms expert ribbon using one & decades later I purchased an AR-15 type firearm (Sig Sauer M400) and it is nice to shoot because of its low recoil. My Marlin 336, .35 Rem LEVER Action, is a lot of fun to shoot also but after a couple of boxes are used, my shoulder begins to feel it. Ha! After passing the 70 yard line, eyesight & eye-hand coordination are not the same as they were in my 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, & 60s. So is life!

@martinmiller1087 7 лет назад

I am an Army Vietnam combat infantry NCO. Once the teething pains of the M-16 (chrome bbl and chamber and ball powder in the cartridges) were sorted out, in my opinion, it was a better rifle for that theater than was the M-14. In a year of combat in RVN (68-69 in III Corps) my well-maintained M-16 never let me down. My only gripe was that shooting at running targets beyond 300 meters, the 55 grain projectiles did not show any visible impact on the terrain for adjustment of elevation and lead. Contrarily, it is also my opinion that the the M-14 was a much better rifle than the M-16 or M-4 for battle in Afghanistan and Iraq, with the exception of urban entry battle. I enjoy your videos, Iraq Vet 8888. Well done and welcome home.

@Iraqveteran8888 7 лет назад

Thank you for your service sir. Yes many M-14s were brought out of storage and the better rifles were usually put into chassis systems and scoped. A lot of folks found that rapid follow up shots were necessary in both urban environments as well as out in vast open areas in the mountains. Personally, for A theater such as Afghanistan, to me, I'd run a .300 Win Mag semi auto if I had the choice in the matter...😇

@Chromatic_Death 7 лет назад

God bless you, man. I have nothing but immense respect for everyone who was sent overseas in Vietnam, what a nightmare.

@BikerDash 7 лет назад

I thank you, brother, for your time you have given our beloved Nation. As for distant targets with the 5.56 round, that is the reason the US went with a heavier projectile in the M-16 rifles. Supposedly, the new round was good on targets out to 500 or more yards. Personally, if I had to regularly shoot at long distance, I want an AR-10 in 7.62 NATO. As much as I like the M-14 platform, the AR platform is what I am most familiar with, and with that familiarity, and that is what I would perform best with. Thank you again. Corporal Justin P. Emery, USMC (91-95)

I always thought a Brush Gun was a beater you don't mind dragging through the briars all day. Additionally, it doesn't have to be a long range firearm and it needs to be easy to handle. Up until the proliferation of ARs and AKs, the only game in town were lever actions.

@droppinplates6665 7 лет назад

was surprised to not see a 3030 in this video just cause all the old heads swear by the 3030 and say its a good brush gun of course not like a 45 70 but many folks tend to think of a 3030 as a solid brush gun

@spaceforcecommander9062 7 лет назад

@napalm390 7 лет назад

I grew up in Missouri, in a forest with sometimes quite thick brush and never had a problem killing deer with my dad's marlin 30-30. I'm not claiming the caliber to be the absolute best or anything, but I liked it a lot and was sorry when my dad had to sell it when I was in the Military. I live in Arizona now where the 30-30 is not as useful at the longer ranges you can get but I still have a Marlin 30-30 336c just for nostalgia's sake, if nothing else.

@spaceforcecommander9062 7 лет назад

Rotary Saw I live in nevada now and rather have been trying to decide between the 3030 or something for longer ranges here. sold my 3030 when I got out of the army. miss that rifle but if I'm gonna go range I'm looking at .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor.

@napalm390 7 лет назад

For my dollar, I'd go .308, I don't know much about 6.5 Creedmoor. A quick look at the ballistics data seems to me like .308 winchester has it beat all out, unless like I said there is something I'm not seeing..

@Kjklump 7 лет назад

.308 is hard to beat inside 800yds due to popularity, availability and the shear amount of data on the load, I personally think the 7mm-08 is better at distance.

30/30 and 303 are our brush guns. My father was a Vietnam vet and came back with a love for the 303 and after years of watching what the round does it has been a staple in our family it's one that doesn't get the attention it deserves all you ever hear today is 5.56,223, 7.62,7.65 hear very little of the British 303 and it's actually a versitile round. My father spoke of his time in Vietnam where they were trading m16s for old enfields and some of the guys were laying fire with those old bolt actions as fast as semi autos if not faster in the jungles and swamps.

@brianlee6849 4 года назад

Great test! I heard a guy say one time that there is no such thing as a brush gun. I think in heavy brush the heavier grain the better. Basic physics the heavier bullet has better momentum to stay on its path the lighter bullet is going to be deflected easier. But you definitely proved it! Thank you very much that was very fun and interesting.

I am 56 years old and have hunted all my life in thick cover. A brush gun is more a short barreled gun than a caliber, such as a carbine with a low power scope or iron sights, that is easier to handle in thick cover than a full size rifle.

👍🇺🇸🐍💪.thanks for the video Eric. I love mine. I found it about three years ago at a lgs here in NW AL. Its a Marlin 336 in 30-30 and from what I've researched its made in 1976 and has the JM stamped barrel. Luckily although been used its still in awesome condition . I payed up a little bit I think bc it was worth it to me bc you never see the older ones especially in good condition. So I don't think $475 total was too bad all things considered. And like your area there in Georgia, here in NW AL its mostly brushy land and hard to find 150+ open yard shots. Even though I have other calibers in other platforms, my go-to for deer and hog is that one. 30-30 is still very relevant. Even heard its probably took the most deer of any others. Who really knows though. Really doesn't matter. But thanks man and take care.

I've heard people say slugs go right through the brush like there's nothing in their way. On the other hand I've also heard about some crazy ricochets of twigs. That said, you shouldn't really be shooting at an animal if you can't even see it properly. That's not safe. It could be something/someone you don't want to kill.

Several years ago one of the gun magazines put out a different test on the effects of brush. A piece of pegboard had rows of 1/4" wood pegs attached. Then firing along the row of pegs it was noted that light fast bullets deflected greater than the slower heavier bores. Conclusion was when a 55 gr 223 hit a twig at 3000 fps the twig also hit the bullet at 3000 fps. 45-70 405 gr bullets plowed a straighter line through the pegs

My brush gun is a drilling with two 12 gauge side by side and one 9.3 x 74R below. I can put an extra 9.3 insert barrel into one of the 12 gauge barrels, but in brush a Brenneke slug works well. I have a second set of barrels with two 12 gauge and one 7 x 57R. Again with an extra insert barrel. I also have an insert barrel in 22 WMR. I used to carry an repeater. But than I inherited the Drilling with all the stuff and I have not used another gun for hunting since than. The Drilling is a short weapon compared to a repeater with the same barrel length. The insert barrels keep their aim once adjuster when removing and reinstalling them. Everything in one carry case.

@@destynova4512 that's not true. I don't know your background or your history but where I'm from and I was raised in the mountains of Eastern Alabama the foothills of the Smokies, the 30/30 Winchester was definitely the go-to rifle. Now if you are out in the plains of Montana or Kansas and you could get off a 500 yard shot yeah then a 223, or a 30-06 would work. But when you were in those mountains and Hollows and surrounded by lots of shrubs and 3 inch or smaller trees then your go-to was definitely a 30-30 because it would plow through all that and still be able to make a kill shot I did it several times. Those other rifles would graze off of or ricoshit and guess what you just missed your deer. When the woods are thick the way they were where I grew up a 30-30 is the only rifle to have. Period. People talk crap about the 30-30 but I have actually set up a Target at 500 yards and hit the target even though their website claims 800 to a thousand yards and even up to 1200 yards if you can make the shot I feel more comfortable at 500 yards if I'm trying to humanely take an animal. But if I am in the middle a very thick brush and I can see a buck topping a ridge at 200 yards away and slowly making his way down into the valley I would have no problem at all lining him up and I don't use a scope don't need one and either taking a backbone shot where he Falls immediately which I've done several times or if I can see a heart shot where I can track him 40 or 50 yards, then that's my family's and some close friends supper and jerky for a month.

@garypollard9770 4 года назад

Real Sharp Knives, most of them are or used to be. I always referred to a “brush gun” as a big slower bullet that there wasn’t much deflection through the brush. That was a short barrel lever gun back in the day. .35 Remington, .44 mag, .444, .30-30, .45-70. Never considered the smaller faster calibers as a brush gun because the brush would turn on of these lighter bullets.

@seanhazelwood3311 6 лет назад

From growing up in thick forest and heavy brush...A "brush gun" is short-barrelled, .30cal or greater, shooting a fat/heavy bullet, with iron sights. Short barrel is easier to swing around in thick brush. Large caliber/heavy bullet won't deflect against brush. (leaves and light branches that deflect small/fast bullets). Iron sights are faster to acquire and do not "blur" against brush like scopes do. At close range, a slow heavy bullet is best against a dangerous predator (bear, cougar, etc.)

Just stumbled onto this six year old video; and I had to watch it. Like another viewer I had always thought a brush gun was a short, maneuverable rifle that a hunter doesn’t mind dinging the finish on. In January 2023 on a day with bright light and high contrast I was hunting from a tree stand with a .308 and a 3-something scope. For longer than twenty minutes a whitetail bounded to and fro through laurel at about forty-five yards; and was blowing at me the whole time. One of my most interesting deer hunting encounters; and I couldn’t clearly see the deer to get off a shot. This was partly due to the intense sunlight and the subpar and overpowered scope. Usually I carry a 1-4 or 1.5-6 scoped long-gun; and they’re good glass. That experience stuck in my craw; and it seems like every year I have one of those educational hunting moments. I daily contemplate what I’ll take back to that area; and now I may have something new in mind. Thanks for the video!

@BuckFoeJiden 2 года назад

30 carbine makes a fantastic brush gun, 450 Bushmaster, and 458 SOCOM are also fantastic. Don't have any real experience with the .50 beowulf, but I've heard it's a great round as well. My two favorite calibers for being in the Appalachian mountains, though, are the .308 and the .243. .243 has been a godsend. Very fast round with little to no drop within the ranges you'll see clear shots in the woods. Every deer I've killed has been between 30 and 100 yards away, except for two I've had shots open up at +/- 400 yards, and the .243 handles that very, very well. .308 needs no explanation. If you can't kill it with a .308 Winchester, you'd better run or hide from it.

@robertkubrick3738 7 лет назад

Seating a bullet backwards could be potentially dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. You need to keep the jump in the throat or reduce the load. If the base of the bullet jams into the rifling with no jump or is seated deeper in the case after contacting the rifling there may be a problem. But if you don't know how to make your loads safe you should stick to factory ammunition.

It makes sense though right? HV rifle rounds are cones, and are below 180 grains (tested in this video) as they contact the brush they tumble.

There accuracy should not be taken into question.

@Spangdaddy1 2 года назад

Francis E Sell, author of the book “Get Your Deer” published back in the 1950s came to the same conclusion in his testing. There appears to be a sweet spot velocity wise between 2000 and around 2600 fps at the muzzle. In his testing the most important factor was not bullet shape or weight but velocity. His testing even included rounds of the same bullet weight and size fired from the same rifle just loaded to different velocity. Once that speed was reduced to around 2600 and below the groups tightened and the deflections though not completely disappearing began to have less effect on point if impact. This kinda explains why rounds like 30-30, 32 Win Special and 35 Remington have ruled the deer woods for so long.

Thanks that was a very good practical field test. I would like to see the test repeated, but this time shoot from a bench to minimize variations in placement.

Cool video but an option that also should've been tested were 12 gauge shotgun slugs! I've hunted deer with those in thick Western NY brush for years with great success. A good, heavy Sabot slug out of a 12 GA will also do a great job punching through brush and taking down a deer with authority inside 100 yards! I like the Lightfield slugs out of my Remington 1100 with a rifled slug barrel. My brother uses Hornady SSTs out of a scoped Mossberg with a rifled barrel and we've had great success with both!

Deer hunting in northern Michigan , I always carried my Mom's model 94 in .44 mag . I never took a shot with it but I knew that it would get the job done if I did take a shot .

If y’all anyone looks at this northern Wisconsin a 30-30 is considered one of the best brush guns because the barrel is short (someone from Alaska mentioned it so you can swing the rifle I shoot a 30-30 sense 1964) I shoot a model 94 made in 1950 using 170 gr Long story shortened. I am the youngest of 5 children 3 boys and 2 sisters. My Dad bought the Winchester for my oldest brother (Bill), 1963 I bought it from Bill for $50.00 with the agreement to sell it back to him for a good reason. Bill had 5 kids only one son and when his son turned 14 he asked to buy it back so I sold it back and. Sadly Steve died in a car wreck after only 2 seasons of hunting. I was not comfortable asking Bill to buy it back. So it sat in his gun cabinet for a number of years then unfortunately I lost my brother to cancer in the 90s about 2 years later his wife asked me to get the values of the guns so she could sell. A couple of weeks later I gave her the values and I told her the story and told her I would buy one of the guns and she said the revolver that 4 other family members would like( S&W 357 w/scope 686 ) I said no I would like the 30-30 and I will pay you retail value. She said let me think about this for a couple of weeks. She called me and said you can pick up your rifle. I drove to her house with the money in my pocket. I was surprised,shocked, Thankful. She gave me our family’s 30-30 ,gave me. I still have it and it will continue being handed down hopefully for many generations. Praise God for watching over us all!
