A friend of mine’s father over in South Africa was a fairly famous Leopard hunter and now my friend is an avid leopard hunter. I have hunted with him (though never for leopard) and have been to several of his bait sites for other hunters. He is always very pleased when I show up with a rifle loaded with TSX bullets but has told me if we ever hunt leopard to NOT bring TSX ammo! I don’t know why he has such strong feeling against them but he does. I’m expecting a call from him in the next few days and will try to ask him about the topic.
My completely ignorant opinion would be that a 180 hornady from a 300H&H would make a damned fine leopard round. If I ever go I will most likely use my 308 and 150 bullet of some sort. Probably an accubond.
