Do larger calibers really compensate for bad shots?

[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1706014, member: 2736"] Larger calibers have more energy potential and normally a larger energy transfer, so if the right bullet for the game hunted is used, It should/will perform better. But it cant make up for a bad hit. It can make a difference however if it is placed in the right place but just not in the perfect place. If anything, a smaller bullet that will explode inside and never exit will/can do more damage than a large bullet that simply passes through the guts without expanding or delivering very much energy. But ether way, a bad shot/hit is just a bad shot/hit and there is no good spin on it. The right bullet for the game is more important than the biggest bullet. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
