Larger diameter bullets allow more room for error?

[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1537477, member: 307"] "Do larger diameter bullets really allow more room for error?" I have always felt that the philosophy, or thinking, behind this is that the larger caliber bullet puts more smack down, i.e. kinetic energy, on an animal. More energy will obviously kill an animal quicker, right? It's whats referred to as "stopping power". This may be true somewhat if shots are only placed within the vital zone on an animal but some "numb-skulls" think they can shoot an animal in the rear end, center mass or anywhere you can place a bullet as long as you see hair in the scope. This is ignorant thinking, sloppy shooting and unethical hunting. I agree with Magnum Maniac, "Bullet size does not make up for poor marksmanship". [/QUOTE]
