Larger diameter bullets allow more room for error?

[QUOTE="shooterRon, post: 1540231, member: 31680"] This is my first post although I have been keeping up with LRH for a while. I would like to add my 2 cents on the issues of bullet lethality on game. I believe that if an animal (deer or elk) is aware of your presence and gets amped up---getting a big surge of adrenalin-- it will take more to put it down than if it is totally unaware of any danger. I have seen elk hit and hit hard with a large .30 cal. round while amped and they were able to cover considerable ground before going down, while others who were totally unaware and at ease were hit well with smaller rounds were DRT. All I am trying to inject into the conversation is that on any hunt at any given time, there is more to what bullets drops an animal the quickest. By the way, I did not list specific calibers so as not to lead this conversation to a "what caliber is the best for elk or deer." [/QUOTE]
