In some countries you need a .375 or bigger. In Zimbabwe, 7mm on up is legal.

In June 2013 I took a 137 lb leopard in the Zambezi Valley with a .30-06 and 180 Swift A-Frame (too hard a bullet). Rex Hoets, my PH, really knows cat hunting. I just followed his instructions. I hit him mid body a hand width behind the shoulder. Dropped straight out of the tree and was dead...

Good choice. I used a Trijicon 2.5-10, 30mm with an amber post on my 30-06 last June in the Zambezi Valley. I was shooting 180 gn Swift A-Frames. My leopard was dead under the tree - one shot. The lighted reticle is a big help when they come to the bait at last light.
