Do larger calibers really compensate for bad shots?

[QUOTE="Gater, post: 1707025, member: 111019"] I shot a 5x5 elk in Wyoming with a 7 mm mag using 175 grain Sierra game kings with 62 grains of IMR 4831 first two where right in the boiler room he just stood there third round hit him in the spine then he went down when we took him to the meat locker the butcher gave me back two of the rounds both where kill shots him and a friend of mine that lives in Doubis Wy and was with me said if I would have waited he would have went down. The way I look at it is if he is standing I’m shooting later that after noon another guy shot a bull with a .270 that elk dropped immediately while he was messing with his gun the elk got up and was gone. They found him after a 4-5 hour chase that 7mm is now a .338 [/QUOTE]
