Is shot placement more important than bullets?

[Pdvdh]

1) Because you've lost all ability to interpret the written english language.
2) Your foregone conclusion that an animal lost with good bullet placement and failed bullet performance is somehow better than an animal retrieved with less than optimal bullet placement. Because you've imersed yourself in the belief that bullet placement is always more important than bullet performance.

You've expressed your position clearly: Bullet placement is more important than terminal bullet performance- unilaterally. Even though failed bullet performance, in and of itself, can result in the failure of animal recovery, with terrific bullet placement.

Another possibility. Bad logic... Delusion and bad logic typically share the same bed. But the inability to understand the obvious, even after it's been presented clearly and concisely, has me leaning toward delusionally happy in Never Never Land.

Let's put a fork in this one, it's done. We all know proper shot placement with a good bullet is best and a bad hit with any bullet is bad....

I would like to agree, but it seems we don't "all" follow the same logic

To keep up with @phorwath you are going to need to up the critical thinking a little bit.

If you are honestly trying to foster communication and understanding, brush up on your logical fallacies, because you are "strawman"-ing his argument.

Is he one of those people?

Clearly you are also delusional...

Stuck throttle. Train wreck occuring at high speed. No emergency brake. No ejection seat. No parachute. Even though the chute was made available.

So exactly what did I say that is delusional? You are just picking fights at this point.

Lol, that was sarcasm sir.

HAHA, I see that now, maybe I'm losing my sense of humor. People just want to argue and fight now days. Uff da...

Is Shot Placement More Important than cartridge and bullet selection?

cartridge and bullet selection are important subjects, but are they more important than shot placement on the target?

This question has been around forever and will never go away. There will never be a large consensus of agreement on it. There are hardly ever absolutes in hunting & harvesting game animals. The answer to the question depends on whether or not you can place the shot exactly where it needs to be....under all the conditions & circumstances you would ever encounter. Can a person maintain the perfect shot under all of these variables on every shot he will make for the rest of his hunting career? Maybe. I have a 22 Creedmoor that shoots as good as anything I have. I wouldn't hesitate to take a deer with it. If I knew the trophy of a lifetime were roaming around my neck of the woods then I would rather have my 7mm which shoots equally as good. Maybe I make excellent shots 99.9% of the time( I don't) but I don't want the .1% of the time that I make a shot with error to be on the trophy of a lifetime. Murphy's law can happen. I've saw a 180gr 30 cal bullet leaving the muzzle @ 3200fps hit a buck in the guts and bring the buck down. A 243 cal bullet through the heart of that buck would have worked much better than the shot I made with the 300 win mag but the truth is that if I would have had a 243, then I would have still made a bad shot because I miscalculated the wind. What's the answer? I should have made a better shot is the answer but I still brought the buck home anyway. I've gravitated towards smaller bore cartridges for the last couple of years but I do know that I have to be realistic about what can go wrong.

Yes, for sure. You can hit a buck on his eye with an air gun and probably you'll have meat on the table.

The right bullet for where you hunt is important. In thick woods an exit is preferred, out West, not so important and BC would trump an exit.
