Do larger calibers really compensate for bad shots?

[QUOTE="Ingwe, post: 1745701, member: 35101"] Just thinking about the title of this thread and here are my thoughts in a nutshell: A badly/gut shot Elk is bad whether it’s with a 223 or a 458 BUT if I had to track a gut shot Elk, I would rather it have been gut shot by a 458 than a 223. So the answer in NO , caliber won’t compensate for a poorly placed shot, but, a large caliber will destroy more tissue which SHOULD make recovery more of a possibility [/QUOTE]
