Re: Leopard Gun build in .577NE and 12Ga 3" Mag

In all fairness they say "This slug in 12ga is suitable for virtually all game with the exception of some of the largest African varieties." To me that means no Elephant, Rhino, Buff, or Hippo.

I think the most misleading thing is the name they chose. Big game slug or something like that without the DG in the title would be more appropriate because it does seem like it would be more effective then a normal slug on big game.

If I lived in a shotgun only hunting state and/or I couldn't get a DR it would be a good substitue in a DB shotgun for deer to Elk sized game but for true thick skinned DG I am very skepticle.

I think Yogi said the the 3" Mag 12g was 500gr @1620.... at least its better then the 45-70.

Honestly though with so many suitable options out there for DG that aren't more expensive then a good Shotgun whats the point of using something that seems pretty marginal at best on DG?
