Larger diameter bullets allow more room for error?

[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1538396, member: 101677"] I’ve shot a number of deer with the 168eldm and now some with the 143eldx, they are within 50fps mv, around 250yds the 143 begins to overtake the 168 in energy. Yet inside 500(I’ve shot deer near 500 with both) the 168 creates the larger wound channel and is more forgiving despite having less energy. It’s on the light end of 30cal vs heavy 6.5cal bullets. Bullet diameter is clearly the underlying factor of the improved performance. With a decent shot either is plenty appropriate. Saying that, the reason I hunt with the 6.5 now is it’s simply better in the wind and easier to place the shot along with my 6.5 is my most accurate rifle. [/QUOTE]
