Placement takes precedence over caliber size.

[SideburnsOfDoom → skymast]

I don't think that still holds true at the extremes. These extremes include

1) very small calibre

2) high stress situation where quick reaction is needed, very precise placement such as the eye is nigh impossible. "head" is a good as you'll realistically get.

3) very large animal with a thick skull.

"charging Hippo" is 2 & 3.
