Do larger calibers really compensate for bad shots?

[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1742371, member: 97050"] Shot placement is key in anything from combat or defensive shooting to hunting, if one is seeking taking a life effectively. It’s my opinion and experience that people with poor technique (I know, there’s so thing as someone with poor technique on the Internet) shooting magnums tend to intensify the those inadequacies do to recoil and poor recoil management and or poor technique overall. Long story short, if you shoot well and you are using a magnum then you only gain the benefit of extended range, energy and penetration. As far as splitting hairs I suppose with a larger diameter projectile goes if your shoot is off by mm then you would have that benefit as well however at range I don’t see that being quantifiable in real life and probably not worth the discussion.
