Cats' nervous system makes them really perceptible to velocity. Leopards aren't very big, but a pissed off one will get your attention. I've never taken one but lost of folks I know have and when I eventually go whatever I'll take it'll be at least a 30 cal with an MV above 2800. It's ok to have a caliber that works when everything goes right, I prefer to have one that works when everything goes wrong..
Hence my thoughts on the 168 Gr TSX via FN Mauser 30-06 on my cheetah. Smacked at 50 yards in the backside of the neck. A freebee by the way....
