Do larger calibers really compensate for bad shots?

[QUOTE="BigJam, post: 1745554, member: 12077"] Sometimes too much gun isn't better. We get coyotes out in our fields regularly and I usually shoot them with the 22-250 and they drop like rocks. But one day I just happened to have a 270 handy and ended up shooting it 3 times and when I got out to it it was down but still growli g at me. Skinned it out to take a look and all good shots but bullets ripped right through and didn't leave much of a wound channel compared to what the 22 250 does. Find bear are similar, they don't go nearly as far after being shot with a 243 than they do with 270, 300, 7mm. Just my experience. [/QUOTE]
