Do larger calibers really compensate for bad shots?

[QUOTE="Thescandinavian, post: 1741900, member: 107409"] From a quick look in shooter a woodleight 405 witch I have used will have roughly 20% less energy at 100 yard than a 105grain 243(I have never used) My 45 caliber is great out to 100yards, but past that I struggle to find bullets with ballistics coifients that will retain energy and have enough speed to initiate expansion witch is needed to transfer energy to the animal causing damage. 405 woodleights could with moderate loads just go trough at 60-80 yards without expanding.
