Do larger calibers really compensate for bad shots?

[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 1706036, member: 67552"] I think originally the spirit of the bigger bullet allowing margin was not for bad shots, but rather tougher shot angles. If you get a steep quartering shot, the theory was better to have the big diameter, heavy hitter to reach corner to corner. Now with bullet advances and barrels twisted for heavy for caliber bullets it has maybe evened out some. It takes ALOT of tissue to stop a 130 grain .277 TSX and a bullet expanded to .55 or .68 inches doesn't make a lot of difference to the soon to be dead. [/QUOTE]
