I'd be willing to bet everything I own that bad shot placement is responsible for more wounded game getting away than cartridge choice.
I don't understand the point your trying to make... if more animals are wounded every year due to poor marksmanship, how is making a smaller caliber requirement going to help? Please don't tell me that they'll shoot it better. 3 shots a year is three shots a year, it doesn't matter what caliber you shoot you'll still struggle with competency.
