Re: End of barrel leopard charge

At near end of barrel range 7 shot will penetrate further than any buck shot. Several US Law Enforcement agencies have conducted test that show this, though for some reason I would feel more comfortable with 0 size buckshot.
I like the idea of a short barrel 45-70 for close in Leopard protection.
That is interesting. I find it hard to believe. So, not arguing w/ you at all but I would really like to test that #7 vs buckshot in my boards and jugs! Any idea what the LE test medium was?
Remember they are talking inside house range. The Buckshot starts to open on leaving the barrel where as the smaller shot strings to start with. The best way I find to visualize this is multiple mini drones attack. The first wave damage and weaken then next lot do more of this and subsequent one's just go through the hole. Or think of it as one long slug with mass weight as opposed to say 9 individual 32 calibre bullets.
I forget the distance where the smaller shot patter starts to open up, but once it does it loses its sledge hammer effect.
