What caliber rifle would you use for Leopard?

Oh, and I also highly question several of the ”new comers” taste in men.

Welcome to AH Jennifer, .300 win short mag will be fine, as long as it is legal where you plan to shoot your leopard.

I wish there were more women here and that they posted regularly.

As a pretty good general rule though with very few exceptions, there are two types of women here:

1. Real woman only interested in votes for the latest huntress contest. Join, please vote for me, and never be heard from again.
2. Fake accounts for whatever reason

In the last couple of days I've seen at least five women join

1. Two to sell elephant tusks
2. One to get help restoring the fox mount she found on side of road
3. One with a general welcome (jury still out here)
4. and one who wants to know if an AR15 is the best rifle for Leopard

Only way I will believe a woman is real and wants to be a part of the community is over time by her posting and contributing.

I sense you are feeling used by the women in your life?

My caliber/rifle of choice for my Mozambique leopard was my .300 Weatherby with a 168 grain Barnes TTSX bullet.

I think any of the other .300 magnums or even a .30-06 would quickly kill a leopard. The key is to use a rifle you are comfortable and confident with, use a good expanding bullet, and put the bullet in the right place. Simon says "put the bullet on the shoulder." It worked for me.

Im from Ohio and have been hunting to Africa 3 times! I have hunted Buffalo (With My husband) Giraffe Elephant and plains game. Africa has gotten into my soul and Have to go back!!!!

Royal, I think you might onto something here. If you've hunted Africa 3 times, and have hunted buffalo, ele & plains game, why would you be asking what caliber to use on a leopard, and list the 223 as a choice???

I brought my 300 wsm with 180 grain nosler partion bullets. My PH was happy with that. I would have no problem in the future using 165 grain nosler.

Perhaps it's time for the big boss men to send this thread to the big black hole.
