There is no such thing as a "brush gun", and if you hit a twig with any projectile, it will be deflected somewhat.
I suggest cleaning out a couple of shooting lanes and using whichever gun are most comfortable with and shoot the best.

The 243 has the best chance of dodging the brush, due to the smaller surface area of the bullet, which is about 60%less than a 30/30 or a 30/06 bullet. A bullet that will hit brush and still go straight is a MYTH[:@]. Choose the bullet that is less likely to hit a twig, or better yet wait fora clear shot.

Just make sure you stay away from buckshot. That stuff should be illegal!!

For hunting heavy cover, it would be my first choice, and I have killed more than 20 deer and hogs with 12 ga 00 with not a single animal taking a step after being hit.
Hunting with buckshot is much like hunting with archery tackle, you must know your limitations. Inside 50 yards, there is nothing deadlier.

Sorry retrieverman...I've used it and I've seen it used. I've patterned it with up to a super full choke out to 50 yards and even then it stinks.
If your shooting 12 inch groups with it bless you but I don't buy for a second that of 20 big game animalsyou have shot with it none has taken a step. Penetration is generally poor and what is it .22 caliber?
I'm looking for more than randon pellet placement. The stuff stinks and shoudn't be used for deer.
I will however defend to the death your right to use it.
