Brent,

Regarding boddington's shots, I'll never know for sure how good they were but he noted in the article that he watched the pellets hit home. In addition in his video "Boddington on Leopards" he relates the same story. He might even show a couple of photos, I think he does but can't really recall for certain.

Perhaps more persuasive for you is the general abandonment of the shotgun shooting their standard buckshot (size SG?) for follow up for wounded leopards as reported in a variety of books and articles over the last ten or fifteen years or so. Too many failures of the type described by Boddington reported by PH's. Some report going to Brenekes and some report going to American 000 size buckshot in three inch cases which as I understand it isn't generally available in Africa and only more recently have many 3" chambered guns been available.

Put me in that spot and I would want my favorite SxS shotgon shooting Brenekes first since it is nearly four pounds lighter than my DR and so handier, second choice would be my DR.
