Do larger calibers really compensate for bad shots?

[QUOTE="GeorgeS, post: 1706966, member: 107925"] This guy insists that the "vacuum" from the .50 "sucked the eyes out" of the doe and killed it. That is totally unjustified by the evidence. It is more likely that the bullet went through both eye sockets and the internal concussion dropped the doe. The doe was broadside to the shot, and it's not unreasonable to assume that the bullet, in passing through the eye sockets, did not upset nor encounter sufficient tissue to show evidence of damage, but the internal shock, so close to the CNS center, instantly killed the deer. Were the case otherwise, would not every .50 BMG bullet passing through a paper target shred it? [/QUOTE]
