Do larger calibers really compensate for bad shots?

[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1707386, member: 8873"] This is so true! My daughter’s first deer was a doe at a little over 100 yards. Totally calm and broadside, hit in center lungs with a 162 SST from my 7 mag. Red rose of death was instant. She hopped a few yards and stopped to look back at the other deer that just stood there looking at her, they went back to feeding within a couple seconds and so she did too! A follow up shot to the shoulder anchored her on the spot. Added: to make this relevant to the subject, my .375 would have dropped her first shot!:D:D:D [/QUOTE]
