[QUOTE="okie man, post: 1745442, member: 75071"] Define a bad shot! A bigger caliber will always give you a little more margin for error! Bull elk standing 500 yards away, only the shoulder is clear, you have a 25/06 with 117 grain bullets , standard load for decades, now your buddy is with you, 300 mag with 200 grain bullets.Which gun would you want? Last day, last hour of hunt, thousands of dollars spent, vacation time used up. Everyone’s tagged out, tired from packing meat. Which gun gives you a better chance of anchoring the bull before he dives off into a hell hole in the dark. Tell me size doesn’t matter [/QUOTE]
