If you really give it some thought, bullets with a high ballistic coefficient should deflect less than rn or flat point bullets, not the other way around. A bullet with a higher ballistic coefficient is deflected by wind alot less than a pudgier bullet. If wind causes less deflection, then other objects should cause less deflection also.

The myth that flat nosed bullets are brush busters goes against all logic. A bigger leading edge of a bullet should be more likely to catch on brush rather than pushing it aside or gliding past it like you could imagine a spitzer bullet doing.

The speed of the bullet shouldn't matter a bit when it comes to deflection. A beam of light hitting a mirror will bounce off the mirror in the same manner that a stone thrown by a boy will bounce off the surface of a pond.

In real life, as Otis and many others have pointed out or tested themselves, bullets do not plow through brush, or otherwise have their flight path unaffected by obstacles no matter what the design.
