At near end of barrel range 7 shot will penetrate further than any buck shot. Several US Law Enforcement agencies have conducted test that show this, though for some reason I would feel more comfortable with 0 size buckshot.

I like the idea of a short barrel 45-70 for close in Leopard protection.

That is interesting. I find it hard to believe. So, not arguing w/ you at all but I would really like to test that #7 vs buckshot in my boards and jugs! Any idea what the LE test medium was?

I am curious as well. Saw some close penetration of 12 bore #4's I think, then I think they went to 00 buckshot and Foster slugs. Not sure on exact shot sizes, though.
In all cases the slugs caused the most damage on the "human" torso(s) used, depth and well as radiating damage to tissue and bones. They were actually quite devastating.

No.7 shot would be used by police as they don't want casualties among other persons in a house. For the opposite reasons as no.7 shot won't penetrate walls etc.

At very close range any shot clump makes a big hole.

But no smart persons would be planning for such extremely close range shooting.
