I agree that 7.62 will deflect as well, and the more bush the greater the chances of deflection.
However the angle off through light scrub leaves etc is a lot less, 1/2 an inch over 75 metres is still going to hurt when you aimed at the center of mass. 
I always found it was better to give than recieve.

Country:  | that was low matt, don't ever expect me to come to your aid if you get your tractor stuck or need to heard some cattle 
but i wasn't saying that British rounds aren't affected by it, as much as i wish we were we're not that God like, read what i've said again all you'll see i've said is that the larger calibre is affected less, the American comment was aimed at your prefered shooting style

Country: | Actually tests have shown the deflection of small arms bullets are rather significant with brush as small as 1/4in diameter. And the deflection is much greater than 1/2in at 75 meters. I'll try and dig up the test scenarios, but I recall that .30cal class (.308, .30-06, etc) cartidges exhibited deflection of the magnitude of a foot or two on target 75m behind brush. I'm having to extrapolate, because the scenario was not 75m, but rather 5yd, 10yd and 25yds behind light brush obstruction. Bullets were noted to keyhole in all cases.
And get over it. Jeez. I'm a teddy bear compared to Les.
