Subject: Re: Double Accuracy boddington
I hardly care enough to wish to risk an argument, but do you KNOW that Boddington's shots were well placed?
And what is it about a sub 200lb leopard that makes them more bulletproof than any other mammal at such close ranges? A load of buckshot on a charging whitetail will penetrate I'm quite sure.
Some people seem to believe that African animals are made of something other than flesh and blood. I guess I'll have to prove that one to myself.
Brent, of course I don't know if Boddington's shots were well placed. It's his article, not mine.
But, any kind of shot at a greater distance than 10-12 feet is less effective than a slug or a bullet. Inside 10 feet any shot size will act as a slug so it would not make much difference which you used.
You cannot compare a Leopard to a Whitetail. Muscle mass and bone strength are not equal. As Marrakai stated the secret ingredient is adrenalin.
I hope you do get a chance to see for your self. I also hope you don't have to prove it one way or the other on a charging Leopard or any thing else.
