Larger diameter bullets allow more room for error?

[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1538428, member: 10291"] I think John Taylor’s “Knock Out” formula better accounts for the greater influence of bullet diameter and weight then FPE. It was based on knocking an elephant out with a shot to the head, but I believe it’s applicable when considering killing power on any game with an expanding bullet. Formula: (Bullet dis.x weight x velocity) divided by 7500. 140g,264@3000FPS, KO 14.8 200g,308@3000FPS, KO 24.6 480g,458@2175FPS, KO 63.8 Decent guideline for deer, elk, and large dangerous game at close range?
