Peter Hathaway Capstick may not have been THE consummate authority, but for sorting out wounded leopards, he claimed that #1 buckshot was (ahem!) the "cat's meow"!

And you also have an equal amount of well known PHs (Robin Hurt comes to mind) say buckshot will get you mauled or even killed against leopards (it happened to him).

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
