Just thought I would put this out there for your collective buckshot information....

A friend was a long time PH in Kenya. Did a good bit of guiding on leopards and if a client blew a shot on the cat and it went into the thick stuff he and his best guy would have to go get it as you might assume. His guns of choice were 12 ga SxS's loaded with rounds supplied by Kyoch that were OO buck strung together on piano wire and affixed in an "x" pattern.

He showed me a leopard skull he hit with one of these loads at about 10 or so yards and it was destroyed.. The wire had cut through the skull in several places and the rest of it looked like it had been put through a rock crusher. Oh, yea, that was an in the air shot as the cat had lain in wait and leapt for him.

He gave me a couple of these but I never tried one out. I gave one to a friend who is a big ammo collector and he was amazed by it.
