Wonderful, just wonderful quote from Phil in that link:
Quote
Growing up, having to hunt for a living has impressed upon both of them the singular importance of an accurately placed first shot. No amount of hypervelocity, excessive bullet diameter, engraving nor gold inlays can substitute for it.


It applies well to some who think that a poorly-placed .416 makes up for a well-placed .270.

Placement. Bullet. Caliber.

If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.
