Have been around when leopards were taken but have never shot one. Remember the range will likely be no more than 50 yards. The cat’s bones are not heavy. Most hunters want a nice cape. I would use a mono at no more than 3000 and believe 2700-2750 might be ideal. A big thirty with wide expanding bullets will create a big hole in the hide. Some sort of 7mm shooting a 140 TTSX or ETip at 2775 might be ideal.
