Alan,

The trick is to shoot for the face which is stretched out in front of the animal and if you get it right, you either hit or get close to the brain and/or spine and with a bit of luck on the angles etc, you might also even hit the engine room. - Very fast opening bullets are worth their weight in gold.

I'm a bugger for not updating my photo gallery but below my post are a couple of pics that show where you want to place your shot on a charging cat.

I take your point on big shot........ also take your point on the animals you've used it on, but I note there's no Lions or Leopards on that list. If you say they work on the animals you've used them on, I don't doubt your word one iota...... but until you've used on cats, you don't know if they work on cats, and from my personal experience, they're about as much use as a one legged man at an arse kicking party on cats.

Shooting Leopard from a blind isn't for everyone but unless you do it with dogs, you probably won't be successful without using bait and blind...... but remember mate, that the shot is just the culmination of a loooong game of chess to get the cat to bait and it's that game that's sooooo enjoyable. A good PH will involve you in that game so you get to enjoy it, a not so good PH may not allow you that pleasure.

Here's the pics & remember that a cat charges with it's head low and stretched out in front of him (Leopard slightly lower than than Lion). Both bullet holes are from my 500 and both animals dropped like sacks of the brown stuff. At the bottom is a pic of a charging Lion to illustrate my point. One also needs to remember that every charge situation is different and about the only thing they have in common is that they all happen helluva fast.
