Leopards are small animals by dangerous game standards. I would recommend a good deer rifle and bullet combination over a large bore any day. There isn't a .416 bullet that will open up one micron when it hits the pelvis of a leopard, let alone the rib cage. A 150 - 180 grain pill at 3000fps would be my choice for a leopard slayer. The shock of a high velocity round opening up is well known. The trauma caused by these high velocity pills is greater that that of a large bore. Just my .02$. Good luck on your hunt.




Agree totally...having said that, also might consider both..go on the leopard hunt and then plains game depending on how much and many plains game species you would like to hunt..DG areas typically dont have a ton of plains game and the ones they do have a pretty skiddish after being hunted all day by lion, leopard, etc...IMHO...can probably hunt many more species by going on a plains game only hunt..
