Not to put words in Ray's mouth, but if one was ona plainsgame and leopard hunt, and just happen to have the plaingame rifle (.270) in the blind, who's to know.

On the other hand, I give little faith in using little guns. The fact that little guns can kill leopards is true without doubt, but better to be sure. If a broadside shot happens to turn into a rearend shot on a fleeing leopard, as the trigger lets go, better to have the .375.

Last I checked the trophy fee for leopard was pretty steep. I don't want to pull a "Corbett" and shoot and wound cats with a puny 7x57 or anything else in that class.
