I suppose no one keeps a .458 around just for following up leopards ...
I think any decent PH would have a suitable rifle.
Regarding a big bore double rifle versus a shotgun for leopard and also lion follow up, per my observations and conversations, only the guys lacking a good big bore double rifle use a shotgun. Usually I get asked "how can I find an affordable double rifle?". A big question for everyone!
