This is exactly how I feel with my Browning BAR .30-06. I absolutely love that gun. I have hit deer and a coyote running, trotting, standing still, etc. I have a deal with that gun, I point Mr. Browning at a deer and he knocks them down. Like you said, I worry about getting the shot, not making it.
Now I am trying to get that confidence with my Knight Revolution blackpowder rifle. Got my 2nd deer with it this season and first since I scoped it. It shoots very well and will put shots touching at 100 yards. So I am gaining confidence in it.
But this was the first time out with the Encore. My wife has missed two deer, but she is a new hunter and is rushing the shot. I will give the Encore a little more time as I am sure it is not the gun. I know I rushed my shot at the coyote but still, I feel like that would be a dead dog if I had my .30-06. Anyway, I need to lighten the trigger on both my blackpowder rifles and that will go a long way to making sure the gun goes off where I am aiming and I don't jerk the shot.
